They went from 60 right? If im not mistaken Jeff himself said he's in his powerband at 60 in 3rd. What sucks is that he can't go to 135-140 like the cobra. I'm sure if the cobra was geared the outcome would be in the favor of the cobra. You and Jeff have changed your cars to be quicker up til 125 where as people with stock gears can go to 135/140 so it'll always be an argument.

I just guessed at 60. Jason and jeff both said it was like 55. Thats low in 3rd gear. And if you do a proper race there is no need to go that fast. races don't start at 60. Jeffs car goes to 130 in 4th. That was just not a clean run at all but they are pretty evenly matched.

I guess to end all arguments you can go to the track and do a full race with no honks or any of that stuff. Probably the best way to see which car is faster

There will always be arguments but it was just a friendly race. Jason said Jeff was pretty cool about it that night. They could always run again if Jeff feels like it wasn't legit.

Great races and that SS sounds great. Shifting sounds a tad slow though

I agree that my shifting isn't the best. LS1rob can definitely bang the gears better than me just check his other vids.
