i would probably just opt for the 3.55's, this way you can "grow into them" with mods. I might be wrong, but with mods, you will have to shift into 5th gear even with the limiter raised. That MIGHT be too much shifting IMO

Yes however the particular car I want, Kona Blue, has the 3.73. I will work with it and change down the road if needed. Trap speeds will be lower but ET will be better short term.

This is very true. Kitchen passes are good to have.

why the **** did they ruin that video with music?

Otherwise that is smoking. And that car was skating I bet it was a wild ride.

Sax1031 · 06-19-2010, 01:54 AM

Also the car put down 656rwhp.

I have heard the car is still running a stock long block. I would be a little scared at those power levels on a stock long block though.

When you say it that way you make it sound like a positive.

I would have said "simpler drivetrain" or something to that effect.

Captain Awesome · 06-19-2010, 02:01 AM

I think that qualifies as domestic battery.

id be willing to bet the drivetrain in the s197 has a lot more r&d into it then the 5th gen to keep it "simple"

Give me an SRA every day and twice on Sunday.

But of course I like the drag strip and never have tracked(road race) any of my cars.
