If I get Chevonda in it im gonna need 5 and the move in a 4 pole race. The colt only runs on 3.5 cylinders from all the carbon build up of that 200K mile pig. Ill do 6 and a head start with it..hahaha Id say it should be a close race but hell both are front wheel drive. Why not dig em!

Don't get your panties all in a wad, all I was saying is that if you can shift 14.3 pieR squared should be able to also.

My bad, I’m used to smart comments from you. :wall:

On the flip side, I’ve seen 14Piecubed shift at K-dale.

There was a reason why he let Mike drive his car when it went kaboom.

dumb statement..... shows you are clueless...

the time you went to dale i had tranny issues... car was locking out of third... ask Hutto... I was running high 7's on the POS.. hell even NickcZ28 drove the car and missed a gear... that is what you get for driving the car while it was limping. I didnt care.

I let Hutto drive because he was a friend and he does get to often since his car has been down since the dinosaurs (read my sig! )

BTW.. Hutto made 2 clean passes... my best was a 7.31 or so... his was a 7.26 or so..... difference was more shifting style or bottle pressure. I know how to drive my car. It was shifting fine at this time. I still dont know why it didnt hit 3rd gear on that 3rd pass..... never bothered to ask him. You are clueless......just looking for something to "talk" about. If only you didnt pull lengths on me in that race with the supra (which I beat), you would know this. I shifted slow cuz I had to... not because I couldnt drive. You will see if I can drive soon enough!

Like I said on LS2.... i should thank Hutto...... now I can whip some ***

I was trying to sneak up on the car to see what it would take for driving styles. The 3rd pass was when I was shifting faster then the first 2. To me my first two passes were definitely granny shifting. Knowing the car wasnt on a winow switch i never gave it a real power shift on the nitrous. in high rpms the clutch wasnt disengaging smoothly. Its a hydraulic issue that 90% still wont be 100% even with good slaves and masters. Freak Z will tell you the same thing. SO its hit or miss whether or not you get to hit it right and get it in the gears.
