Who would have thought a stock L99 would trap more then bolt on(well cai, muffler delete unturned) 5.0 manual on 3.73's with DR's? :bonk:

Lousy driver???? Never trapped that low ever in my car. 111 in the heat 113-114 in cool weather

He ran 12.7 @ 111 mph in Mississippi bone stock on the tires it came with.

He still has timeslip with him.

You need to look around before you go saying 12.7 in stock 6-speed manual 5.0 is lousy driver.

Dont mind him. He posts these goofy videos all the time like they are supposed to represent every driver out there.:thumbdown:

The trap speed is lower because of his 3.73's, he has to shift into 5th before end of 1/4 mile at around 105. My friend's 3.31 auto 5.0 stock trapped 109 mph.

Why would having 3.73 gears cause him to shift into 5th in a fairly stock car that has a 7000K red line????????????????

4th gear redlines at 105 :bonk:

I'm not sure about the first run in that video, but in the second one, he most certainly hit 5th at the end of the run. It's a loud car and I know what a 5.0 sounds like, count the shifts, he hits 5th right before he goes through the traps(a couple seconds or so after the kid says "he chirped 4th"). You can't really tell with the first run because someone starts doing a burnout close to the camera right as the cars were going through the traps.

Dude your making this sh!t up as you go. Count the shifts in the video below. It'll hit 100 in third easily.

:facepalm:

Watch that video again, that's an auto, listen to how smooth and early the shifts are. Not only do autos have completely different gear ratios in the box, they also have the crap ass 3.15s out back, not 3.73s. I have an auto 5.0 and I've been doing data logs lately locked in 3rd gear, it's absurdly tall. Red line is well over 110 mph in 3rd.

Are you that dense? How many times do we have to explain to you he has 3.73's and it's a manual?

with a clean launch you will be right at the end of 4th gear with the 3.73's and right around 109-110. Shifting to 5th will lose a little time but gain some mph. They do not top out at 105 in 4th try again.
