I liked auto but its just soo damn boring after a while. Hold the gas down a little and the brake, let off the brake and wait for the shifts. It takes skill LOL. My DD is auto and im bored when i drive it, i def dont want my sports car to be boring. I admit after a certain horspower, say 800-900rwhp i would want to change over to auto but anything before that its stick all the way.

good kill. every car is different and every race will have a different outcome. I have a full bolt on TA and my bother has a full bolt on mach1. he will beat me by a couple cars from a 40roll, but I have raced other machs with the same mods as my brother and beaten them by 3-5. anything can happen on the street.

Listen if the best you have run is a 13.5 and you think you can beat any bolt on mach 1 you would be wrong, i went a 12.78 @ 110 then got a tune and got 18rwhp more and i raced a full bolt on mach 1 and had 1 car on him until about 80mph then got 1 maybe 2 more cars up to 110 from 80. So a he was a 13 flat high 12 second car with just bolt ons and rear end gears. Bolt on Mach 1s can move, certainly faster than a 13.5.
also 03+ cobras can run 12.6s-12.7s with a good driver bone stock and trap a hell of alot higher than 102mph.

and i know a cobra will beat my car and i've lost to plenty of them but it's funny that i've still beaten 3 of those POS supercharged cars anyways

Call BS all you want but it happened on more than one time. Infact a couple of years ago I raced a cammed 6 speed LS1 making 400rwhp and 4.10 gears from a dead stop. I had 2 big guys in my car sitting where the back seats go and I launched in 2nd gear and still pulled the LS1. 
Now that was funny! Man those 4.6s are just slow as poo!

wtf did i say i beat a any bolt on car??? NO he had exhaust and some sort of intake, with a good driver so i doubt he could run a 13 flat esecially since we raced 3 times

. Stock mach would be lucky to be in the 13's out here. Never realized just how much altitude had to do with how fast your times are. Time moving faster? Surely not cars moving slower - Texas Speed is in driving distance so there are more professionally built LS1 BEASTS here than anywhere else ive been.
A bolt on Terminator will only run 12.3-5 out here. Stock LS1's are flat 14's and bolt on LS1's in the 13.3-5.
And Roy, the f-bod crew is starting off the year with a cruise/get together this weekend - expect a call friday or saturday. (koombaya and smores and ****, ya know)

Now when I do get my Cobra motor back from Cali and get it back in the car you are more than welcome to get some of it. However it won't be for free.
