Man wbt, that's excellent in a manual car. From the sounds of your shifts you could give me some pointers. Those sound quick.

I'd be ECSTATIC with a 1.6x 60'. Mine are always around 1.90. If I could get a 1.6x I'd be in the low 11s and would be thrilled.

I've not gotten the guts to power shift this car yet. It's still got the stock clutch in it and I drive it to the track and drive it home, so I'm always paranoid I'll blow up the trans if I do it. So I'm off the gas, on the clutch, shift the gear, off the clutch, back on the gas. In one of my data logs it shows I take .8 seconds to shift and I have to shift three times. That's 2.4 seconds I'm not putting power down, and in that log I thought I had shifted pretty good.

It sounds like your power shifting that car...is that correct? What's your car weigh with you in it? Mine's right at 4350.

Here's my PB run:

How'd your buddy's 5.0 do in the mile?
