What about weight, what about climate? A well driven manual is hard to beat with a stock converter auto. Wouldn't you agree?

8spd is a diffrent breed with it's overall effciency. Gearing/internal design, shift tables.
Seems as tho 8spd is better....but idk what that has to do with what i asked.

I have one of you 5br0s sayin a stick is faster and one saying a auto is.

That is not to do with how it runs......notice it traps 129-130+ consistently.

That has to do with traction......or the lack there of. Trying different launch techniques . I'm not there to run bracket racing.

So yea....5br0 is finicky

Lets not for get the wr he has. I'm sure more mods will come out. It seems 5br0s are not very truthful.
Really!?... are you implying he has more than "bolt-ons"?

Congrats Poppacapp, great to see any new car putting up good times (chevy or ford). Just goes to show its a good time to be a gear head.

Poppa has been rather honest about his mods imo. AFAIK he has, drag pack, e85, cat back, and tune. He ran 3 high 11s same day, same track so he backed up his runs. No excuses or bickering should come of it. A simple congrats is in order.

Edit: it was brought to my attention poppa cap ran 4 high 11s runs not 3. My bad I didn't mean to short you one run poppacap.

We may be talking about another burgundy one then. I think I saw a few running. The Twin car has alot more in it.. he was having the tune modified by tuner in between runs.

Probably won't go further than this NA other than GT350 manifold. I have FI plans.

2nd LOL @ the naysayers claiming he had no chance at 11's that he should be happy to get low 12's.

3rd Did I just see a 3mod bro in the 11's or is it my eyes that device me?
Thanks man

Oh.. so now you are reaching for stuff... I have everything on my car that I have mentioned on the Kik channel in the past. Even posted pics.

Lets not for get the wr he has. I'm sure more mods will come out. It seems 5br0s are not very truthful.
Where else have I cut weight? I put an aftermarket catback, and drag pack on the car. Unless I take a 100lb ****, there isn't any more weight coming out of the car. Car is on stock injectors.

Originally Posted by marc97taws6

Poppa is on stock fuel system and injectors. All he did was load in a tune and gas up his car. Gotta love new technology.
Actually my tune automatically adjusts for the fuel I have. So I can drive on 93octane, run it down to 20miles to E or so.. and fill up with E85, and the tune will automatically adjust within 10mins or so of driving.

Originally Posted by HioSSilver

Many cars seem to have this new technology. Not all utilize it.


So then you would say the m6 car is faster than the a6. And judging by your results vs poppas when stock i woukd have to agree.
No changes on my car to run 93 or E85... zilch.. none. I can run what I want at will... or a mix of the 2. Car will adjust.

Also, my comment about autos being faster than the M6 cars is due to most m6 drivers not being able to 60ft. Equal 60ft and the cars should run equal. Of course you take that out of perspective... You must be mad....

Originally Posted by HioSSilver
By similar modded you mean drag pak only....cause they have been 11.7 drag pak only. But you're not drag pak only.....ssooo yea
Good for them. You mad?

Thanks Mac.. I don't have anything on my car than what any member of our Kik channel has seen. i seem to remember posting pics before... Dug seems to forget that. He also always touts his fast fbody as "A Bolt-On Ls6".. forgets to mention the 800lbs of weight reduction he has, or underbody panels etc... He is pretty hypocritical.
