Very cool! You will get the 9 I'm sure. Plenty of mph.

Funny, I am watching Velocity TV and the show is about the Iceland Volcano's.

I was going to say, volcanoes quiet....C5 rumbling!

make a little smoke of your own. No ash though.

I live close to Mt. St. Helens in Washington, I remember that event well.

Nice going. Once you learn that clutch you will be smiling

Chris Stewart

Great run, loved watching you catch and pass that guy. ..and holy ***** when you got half track and the shoulder disappears. Looks like you're racing down the shutoff road.

Baezi = oh so close club

LSOHOLIC

Now be honest.....whats more fun, manual or auto....

You can usually slip the heck out of a ceramic clutch at higher RPMs, even if it's on/off when street driving. A little practice and you'll get a feel for it! Awesome runs

the Auto setup i have is a fun setup 4200 stall mutli disc but i broke the outputshaft and case on the first try whith spray,
" the spray raped my 4l60e "
so i the auto went on a hold !!!! atleast for this summer atleast
i just threw the manual in only 4 hours doing that .

My Auto setup vs my manual setup

the vote is on the Auto , more fun to drive !!! the stall gave it more life but iīm driving whith big cam NA and 27" street tires whith stock 3.42 gears

i think a 3.90 gears and manual would be fun on streets , but then i would run out of gear on the spray.




yea i think so too, i just went 5 full runs that day (, in first it bogged because i went out to slow rpms, then i gave it a little less delay on the sray in first gear and went out a bit higher rpm and then it went out spinning, but i agree after i think about it and watch videos a bit higher rpms and if i go slower of the clutch and try to ride it out more yes and maby a little more delay again it will come
i atleast hope so..

again thanks guys

There is plenty of power, you just need to get the launch down.
