There's pics in my sig link. You have to click on the pictures logo on the site.
I know the car will run the numbers if I launch it hard. I've beaten quite a few cars up around here. Beaten 2 03/04 Cobras as well, with just basic mods.
I just need to practice those launches on the DRs. I picked up a huge *** bolt in one of them. I'll probably have some Mickey Thompsons for next year, and a new rear end.
The car ran 13.0s at Lebanon Valley in NY on my 18s with Michelins. Spinning every time I hit second gear.
That's some good shifting in that vid. Those T5s are so fun to hammer on. My buddy has a TKO 600 in his Notchback. There's nothing like hammering on that car at 8000RPMs. Those cars are so damn fun to drive...

Here's me. Can't see the stick and this is with me holding the camera in 1 hand steering with the other and shifting as quick as I could. This is with stock ls1 clutch which is slipping, bald tires, and stock long *** shifter. I can shift much faster than that with both hands free. HEHE.

Edit* You can almost smell the clutch from that vid huh. It took me 2 hrs with the t-tops off to get the smell out of the car from that slip on the 1-2 shift. HEHE

Nice guys! I can do it a little quicker with tennis shoes on, but oh well. This was a spur of the moment thing. Mcleoud Revlok clutch, btw.

Thanks man. The VSS wasn't hooked up when we did the tranny swap. [Tony Montana]"I don't need no stinkin speedometererererer or w/e jew call it!"[/TM] According to my dyno, I was running around 115'ish mph. I didn't know dyno's had that feature til the last time I went. On the dyno I was at 125mph at the top of 4th, so I figure with some wind/road resistance, I was going around 115mph in that vid.

nice shifting Silverbullet. I'll have to get some vids of me powershifting some of the trade in's we get at the dealership. I've powershifted them all Porsches, M3's, M coupes, 350 Z's and RX8's. Funny side note, the bone stock little RX-8 will bark the 3-4 shift 
. I won't try it in the Trans Am though, can't afford to sacrafice the tranny or rear quite yet.

porsches aren't all that much fun to slam gears in, handling/ powerslides are great. But it seems like you have to power shift every gear or all of the torque drops off and doesn't come back. But then again they really aren't known for their straight line performance.

I beg to differ... I've driven a few 930s that would blow a lot of cars considered "fast" right away. By 25/30 MPH there's no stopping a built 930.
And if your powershifting a Porsche, you've got the wrong idea. First of all, the trannys/shifters are nothing like these cars. You can actually break them fairly easily.
Nice vid Silver Bullet
That 3-4 shift was perfect!

I've got no problem taking advantage of that waranty while it's still good. Plus, if it breaks it will give our Porsche techs some work/money. That way i can just look at breaking a tranny, as helping out a co-worker.
BTW, i'm aware of how weak those tranny's are. If learned that powershifting a 996/997 C4S is a bad idea
