Beautiful car bro. you have to admit, those shifts were as fuity as that blue color on the Ford..

Then you opened yourself up for the "kill shot" you don't want to mess up your synchros?? Best of luck with your car, and it's not "good driving" they're talking about it. It's "good racing"..

You are comparing a ******* Yenko Camaro.....to a Trans AM with a different hood and decals. You make fantastic points.

I think you got lucky with beating that car. Dont get me wrong your red firehawk should have beat him but your shifting barley beat his. Good kill though for the f body.

Plus I always wanted to see a video of one of our cars modded against a gt500 to see what it does.

This made me laugh! Very true. Iv done a **** load of work to my Hawk, if and when it breaks, I just go bigger and badder, (is that even a word) but I just save all the factory parts, 60,000 miles and still power shifting stock tranny!!

The Yenko was a Dealer Option right?? The SLP Cars are kinda the same. They are numbered and more rare..So yes someone could compare them..

And OP..You need some gears brother..Too big of a cam for the stock 3:42s, I went 4:56s, with a 28in tire on the street, its like 4:10s with 315/35/17 witch I think is a 25.5 or 26in tire..but its not bad at all dude, Look into maybe 3:90s or 4:10s. It will wake your car up. After that we can work on shifting!!

Also I want your spoiler..wanna sell it?

Nice runs, but let's work on those shifts before your next encounter lol. You realize you don't have to power shift to still shift fairly fast and make a huge difference, right?

I agree... I never power shift in a manual... I mean if I can do it in this truck.. you can do it in your car...
