i couldn't agree more with you on this one. i know very few people out of the general lot that really can drive a manual car well. and i really enjoy getting to see the good ones in person and talking with them as i try to learn any tips i can on how to improve my driving.

Dude , you can have the fastest car in the world but if you cant drive, your going to get your *** beat, so im guessing your talking in behalf of the auto guys......Let me know when u wanna line them up, if u wanna do it on the street, you better bring your A-game........As far as you getting the win light, i seriously doubt it, especially with bolt-ons 98 cobra, give me a break

You have no idea do U? I can shift "ok". No auto here. I'll always have 3 pedals in my car. Here's a little vid for ya. This was about a year ago. I've been quicker since then. How's that crow taste?

^ Is that your best run? If so, 11.8's is badass, but the last time I checked 11.6's beat 11.8's. 11.6 was his best pass of the day, stock suspension. I was there.

Thanks. Nope. That isn't my best run. It has gone 11.7's at 115 but got home only to find out that my upper control arm bushings (chassis side) were both torn in half. This winter the car should go high .50's. with a good DA. But nasty is right. There are few people who actually drive these cars to their fullest potential (camaro/mustang). For me if it breaks, it breaks. I just love bangin gears.
He went 11.6? Good for him. His car can be faster. He needs some weight transfer cause it looked like on his .88 pass he spun. Either than or put some ballast in the rear for added load on the tires. -Mark

Agreed. I don't care if autos are faster and more consistant, I'll take a few tenths added to my time with a manual. I've driven a few stab and steers down the strip... Just not my cup of tea. What tires you got in the rear? They look big. You're buddy says stock suspension. Ever thought of looking into some adjustable QA1's upfront with some drag springs? -Mark

that mach with the set up it has SHOULD be faster then a 12.5. but its not. i do know i've seen mach's with similar set ups with the edition of 4.10's and slicks run the same time that you are running now. its more about the driver. you yourself seem pretty good behind the wheel watching the run.
