Not trying to take anything away from the Lambo, but I wouldn't consider that transmission a true manual tranny. Don't forget I actually had to use the clutch pedal. Even though the car only went 4.2, I will gladly take that for the first outing...there's still more left in the car and we'll definitely find out just how far we can push this combination next time.
It was good to see everyone and I had a great time!

Im very impressed with the car... still can't believe how well it went down the track. Congrats again.

Hey guys, a few facts:
1. This LMR Camaro is indeed the quickest 60-130 ever recorded by a 6-speed car at a TX 60-130 event. I previously held that record with a 4.51 and now the record belongs to LMR.
2. Bob Helms auto Supra ran a 3.91 60-130 a while back and his TT Viper at low-mid boost ran a 3.97 60-130 on Saturday. I think Bob's Viper has a mid-low 3 in her at full kill.
3. The UGR black 6-speed (TRUE shifted 6-speed, NOT e-gear) ran a 3.53 60-130 time. I verified the time myself and that car ran that on 2-shifts. That is the quickest 60-130 time we have at this time. It was NOT run at an event but was run at a private track rental. It is indeed 100% legit.
I have spoken to Amar to see if we can't do "joint 60-130" events in the future so that we get more cars to come and participate. I know the number of cars was limited at HRP but we'll see what we can figure out for the future.
CONGRATS to all the cars that ran at HRP on Sunday!
