Well if you know nothing about manual tranny cars I wouldn't say a thing if I were you. Doubt you could do any better. I have been in a car like yours and it is VERY easy to drive. Sometimes you have to feather the throttle alittle bit but nothing that makes driving it hard.

Now I think its absolutely crazy that they wanted YOU to give THEM something seeing as how your car is clearly the under dog. The fact that your car is setup better doesn't change anything. He should have showed up with some 16" wheels and someone that could drive better than my 3 year old nephew.

 

didnt say i could do any better. why you think i drive an auto. i stick to what i know. yea its crazy they asked for that. hell if they beat me, great. nothing to brag about. right now, i dont have to feather the throttle as much, but when i had my 408, i couldnt hook it. when not racing, its easy driving both, but when under pressure, i think both auto and standard have there disadvantage. only i cant miss a gear. since i've beat a few fast cars around here, everyone wants piece. its all fun. hell if i lose the next 5 or however many street races, so what. more seat time to come back and be better next time.

 

This thread has sank faster than the Titanic did. Jebus.

 

rematch will be soon.

 

I like the way this guy thinks!

 

Lol that was a joke about the lengths thought u knew that.

 

Cobra got drug pain and simple. That was a good race and how races should be ran, from a dig not none of that gay *** roll racing bs. Good Job OP.

 

I'm talking about the bench racing and the excuses. "But I could just
swap a pulley..."

Everyone loses. No excuses. I guarantee that car will run a 10.80
easy on a drag radial. Best of luck working out the kinks.

 

I didn't mean it like that I was just refering to the other guy saying he could up the jets and I was mainly joking. Yah I hope to get kinks worked out here before long.

 

You're still on a 3:55? You need a 335 tire.

 

Not sure what you mean.

 

after the kinks are workout, will still be excuses of course. when i lose i can be like, i only had 400 whp, spun, launched to hard. dont come race unless ya got only good things to say afterward. so like i say be ready, i'm bringing the pain this go round.

 

he has 17x9's. that tire wont fit. i do believe he has 3.55's

 

thank you sir.

 

sure it was.. ha i'm just pullin ya chain man.

 

Just to clarify, looked like you had a passenger filming in the car.

Did the Cobra have a passenger as well?

 

yes he did. he didnt have to have one though.

 

good kill man

the cobra was pulling hard at the last moments and he did it

 

well we had a rematch and tied, but we ran 200 ft short cause we thought where we pasted the folks was the 1/4 mile. if we'd had stayed in it, probably would've gotten me bout a car length. he got some front struts installed. he left early but i still put a car on him out the hole. i'm ready for a nitrous tune.
