Not a **** talker but I have to ask, your adamant about rowing gears, but looking at your sig times you are not very good at it... no? Your mph reflects you can't launch and bang gears.

I would be happy to answer fucktard. First im on street tires and my track isnt very sticky does that make sense? Second if i couldnt bang gears my MPH would be **** not good. I can bang gears buddy. Just have trouble getting grip. Working on getting some ET streets pretty soon to improve that. Thanks for asking tho.

Its not that easy to launch but I get your point. I want to win. If its easy to drive and anyone can do it I don't care. I can tell you from experience a stalled auto that hooks can outrun much faster cars. I beat a lot of terminators on the street from a dig and hurt feelings as well as m6 cammed cars. Plus the auto has less driveline shock so I can retain the ten bolt. It's not for everyone and some people can grow a big ego out of it which is displayed by a lot of members.

Yeah it is on full display regularly. For the faster cobra running 10s auto swaps are becoming pretty damn popular. Guy on svtp with similar mods to be and an auto swap running 10s no problem.

Cammed GTO busses, Cammed Camaro slow as ***** trapped 111 killed it, and a Heads cam C5 corvette my closest of the day he trapped 117 but still beat him my 12.2 to his 12.4 plus i treed the **** out of him. Im glad i live in this world and not the LS1tech world.

Take it to Fontana at the end of June. I'll show you what a mild H/C LS should run

My brother has a bolt-on 6-speed LS1 Iroc(headers, tune, cold air intake) that will give you a run for your money

Makes total sense and I can 2nd that. Ran my C5 at the track once only to see what it would do the exact same way as I drove it on the street, with non-DR street tires. At 414whp or 432whp (depending on which dyno), the 11.8 at 121mph (~1900 DA) was from a 2300rpm launch. Launching any higher then that resulted in blowing up the tires.

Not bad times with street tires 2003Cobro.

Its pretty impressive how mad you get when I asked about your dedication to driving stick shift, and not being able to back it up.

Then you back it up with excuses.

And no it doesn't make sense. My non stalled auto summitomos went 11.7 @ 121 mph.

Enjoy banging gears behind the stalled/non-stalled auto car.

Don't get so mad next time when someone asks you a question

WS6, 5.0 Mustang, 1000 HP Z06s, 1190 HP Supra, Cobra, Thunderbird, Legacy GT, Civic, Diesel Truck - YouTube

Video is a lil off on hp... Some said it wasn't 520 as he claimed, but 505. Even still, it ran like total crapstang is known to run. I was at 427 at the time NA, no spray.
So when you say, "no spray" do you mean it in the same way as recently when you were caught lying about not spraying your car?..

No spray in my ride now, and back those runs where before my wet kit, I had no fuel left/injector for the dry shot I had previous to these runs. So yes, I know it hurts... but I was NA.

I didn't read his 2nd post. Still wouldn't change my response. I was never beyond relaxed when I wrote either posting.

I don't see how it wasn't an honest question. Nor was I a db in asking so. I have better things to do then try to upset people on car forums.

Lol bullshit, you were trying to rustle his feathers and fishing to start drama. You dont say "looks like you cant bang gears or launch by your shitty traps" and then be like, "uh dude man i wasnt trying to start **** bro"
