Default Rapid 427 Takes a beating at summit point

Here's a video one of my customers just gave me. This is a 427CI LS7. It is mentioned on our home page. We finished this car in the spring of 2007 and he raced it almost every weekend. Still runs like new

You would be correct SouthFLA. 1st gear is worthless. I start out in 2nd. Then...2nd you have to feather to avoid wheel spin....you cant pop it in 2nd and go......2nd to 3rd shift will wake u up if your not careful; but the best feeling is 4th to 5th at 149mph, (screaming at 6600rpms) the pull in 5th feels like 3rd....

Cool

tell the driver to get his hands back on the steering wheel and not hold on to the shifter he will lose 1/4 sec easy in those turns
