Anyways, awesome!! What tire pressure were ya'll running those et-streets?

I like shifting and driving the car, also and its only my opinion, anyone can go fast with an auto...try it with a six speed I like to be different.

It does very little good to be able reach down and grab the stick when you need to have both hands on the wheel. Rick

Nah i have been in both situations and the auto gets out of control alot easier and alot harder to get back in control. I dont need two hands to crash, just need them to duck and cover

He had it all apart and its not running so no one can say it makes anything yet. Also terrance doesnt have that tranny, he uses a th400(might have been powergilde, i forgot) with a gear vendors for overdrive.
Believe me i have thought about the 4l80e...and if it was ever to become a track car, that is how i would do it.
If we go again....140 will be slow

Please don't think I was comparing your car to his or taking anything from your car because they are both very impressive. I just think that your car would be a killer street car with an automatic in it. I have video of Terrance killing an 8 second Busa on the street because he can come out so hard and put the power down so soon that it's hard to catch him. I think your car would be the same way. Either way they are both impressive.

He did have a 4l80E in the car but had problems so he went back to the 400.

I saw Jay in Vegas a few months ago. I was shocked how little the guy is.
I mean, he's huge...but he's a short ******. He's just taller than my knees.
PurEvl - Absolutely a monster of a car! It's obviously got a ton left in it.
