im driving a 3.73 car right now. why not start in 2nd if shifting is an issue. or get an automatic.


i cruise through town in 6th at 40mph - ~1200rpms. engine is smooth as butter accelerating up and down from there in town. a tune clears teh shifting at the end of the 1/4 mile and lets you stay in gears longer. the other guy shifts and you keep pulling the gear your in. im not tuned. and im not going to be racing it a lot. i have a track car. i do intend to keep killing other cars off of the track.
