Default Went at it again vs my bud's cobra...

40 Roll's, I found i lag way more than when i do a 30.
Im happy with the stall and built tranny. Now we are much closer, before i never had a chance rolling.

His ride is on street tires, does not hook at all...

Another 40 roll...

His mods take the car up to 460+ to the wheels... Mine only makes 365 to the wheels.

Enjoy,

Nice run. I have a feeling the 'stang either does not want to beat on his car too bad, or he is just toying with you... Nobody shifts that slow....

The main focus here is the Trans Am's performance after stall, not so much the shifts, lol.

Thats what his clutch allows him to do... Ive filmed many races before and its the way its always been.

Not saying im faster than him, but he really is going to struggle on the 1/4 when we go at it.
He's getn some hoosier slicks.

Actually heads are in the works... Found a guy that will build me some 243 ported polished and milled to create high compression. Valve job springs and all sorts of goodies.
I may do an Airconditioning job for him, and he'll do the heads. He is a retired GM performance guy, and is all that he does now.

Thanks for the comments, i know i have ways to go with the T/A, but im getting there.

I've tried what he is doing. You keep your hands on the steering wheel and you shift with your right elbow. Takes about 2-3 seconds per shift if you're decent at it.

He needs to put a 10lb diving weight on his left leg, walk around and take some steroids.

I think I also saw a fat guy walking next to the cobra right when he shifted between those gears. It's like 1st is on the hood and second is at the trunk.
