do you not have any idea how this **** works.
Soooo....Are you saying they will be even? If they are then you're right, if they arent then I am.

I'm saying the a10 is a good trans. It's particularly awesome for people that can't drive a stick.

People with manuals always jump to the same conclusion...” you have an auto because you can’t drive a manual”......even though there’s plenty of data here to prove that autos are going faster stock. No aftermarket clutches, shifters and expensive driveline mods to take the beating. Dug makes less than 500whp and has 4-5k (at least) into his transmission and driveline already.

Things has changed. The new autos are very good. Not that long ago erryone had to build a trans to support the power cars are making these days. Including expensive converters which can equal clutch costs.

nothing like doing it with a man pedal tho.....nothing

Good converters aren't cheap. Circle d is 900-1500 depending on what you get.

the new A8 and a10 dont seem to need one like the 6r80 and 6l80 did for example.

Everyone has the right to an opinion. Opinions vary. So as duhg couldn't give any kind of answer. Maybe you could. Please, what would you expect from a 383 then? No race 383, 230's cam & off the shelf heads. I believe I have put detailed work into my engine combo & it runs great. Even my buddies who run 4's think my car runs good. They still want me to spray it lol.



Some more detail. So I'm sure people could tell the difference between the 40 rolls & the 20 roll. The one H/C ls3 I ran would only run from 30 or 50. Not my good speeds but I still ran. Pretty good match & I'll say he took the w. What would it have looked like if we went from a 40??
Also Gus put about 1.5 cars on me at about 150+. Only extra mod I have, since then, is EWP. Still think he would have won. So this should just show a little more where gus' car ran.

So just because this 18 A10 had a good run with me now it's not impressive, or fast, anymore? Lots of people gave props to that car running good & beating other cars. But now since I ran it it's ehhh? LOL.

It wasn't impressive before you ran the a10. It wasn't impressive when gus out ran you. It wasn't impressive at the track. It was never impressive.

now you want to put 4.56 gears in it and spray it

You dork. Not my car. The GT's. I don't need assurance from the computer screen.

Don't want to put 4.56 in tard. Just stated if I would put a gear that would be it. Not if it had a shot on it though. Duh lol.

I think a 383 should do a little better granted I haven’t followed your build like other people . I was expecting a car closer to 130 but the car could be that in my neck of the woods maybe you guys have shitty weather lol

"500" rwhp 383 should run better than my "400ish" ls1 with a small cam (tr224) and old 806 patriot heads. 11.5 @122 in 3000+ da

Should run 128+ mph?

True. The fastest 6M, N/A, f-body I knew down here, 130+mph, was a H/C ls7. Doesn't mean there aren't faster ones out there. Yeah it's pretty hot lol.

So back to comparing track numbers. No problem. I'll start with my car is slow at the track. That car runs good. Do you think that car could keep up with mine from a roll?

Trapping 130 down here is no easy job. Especially for a N/A 6M street car. My buddies bolt on A8 c7z traps around 130. It's going to be cool to see what the A10 runs. As these won't be his best cause of weather. Then hopefully some cool air.

Dude.....a h/c ls7 running 130 is ****. They've been 138 with bolt ons. I've been 130 in 2200 da with the old 90k mile ls6. Does errybody **** up h/c cars these days? Is that the norm now?

Some of my results are on YouTube . But i don't see how that makes me a YouTube racer.

someone else here has to think that a h/c ls7 trapping 130 is **** when they go 122-124 even down there bone stock. Of which is what they trap here bonestock to......so much for you think your tracks are terrible slow eehhh
