you grab 1st instead of 3rd...

cgh1

Yep... that's what it looks like (hehe) - Nice way to keep it going in the right direction, especially with the close traffic you'd just passed.

linutux

Nice save!

Luckily it doesn't sound like you zinged the engine.

rasrboy

Yeeehaaa! Nice save!

good gosh, I get out of your way to give you room on your flyer and you pay me back by going by me sideways

that car sounds mean, does it have a cam?

The Panther

Quick hands. I don't know if it was just me, but I always had problems finding gears with the stock shifter and that was just driving on the street.

SouthernSon

next up......try 2nd instead of fourth on a high speed carousel.......

Han Solo

Good way to wipe out a crank too. Nice save!

I had a friend that missed a 4th gear shift and hit 2nd in his M3. Instant no oil pressure from spun bearings.

sperkins

Thanks. I wouldn't classify Mark as traffic though since he set another new track record this weekend on scrubs. (I think he's the one with a cheater cam)

.... of course not - rumble rumble rumble....

We'll see what the traqmate says about it.

That's my story and I'm stickin to it.

Scott shows up with his newly acquired '99 FRC to run TTA.

"yeah it's a stock LS-1"

after one of my cool down laps I let him by, and then tucked in behind him, just to see the hp difference between the LS6 and LS1. We come off a corner at X distance apart, I'm WOT and before the next corner, I've pulled maybe 2 inches on him. lol

then when I drove it, I'm sitting in the seat and it's paddling my fanny to the tune of, oh, let's say something with maybe a 110 lobe separation

stock cam

btw I loved the M6 box there, it would be perfect with the LS6 with 500 more revs

sperkins

I think the sheet said 108LSA.

drivinhard

hey I don't care, the more equal the cars the better

I'd have to dig around the rules/points (you'd have to double check your cam) but that thing could be a killer TTB car with some "skinny" 275s

sperkins

Yeah that's the plan at the moment to get a shot at some tires. Longterm goal is TTA for sure.

I'm gonna put a dial indicator on the cam and video the results so you guys will stop fussin.

drivinhard

$20 says .581 lift

sperkins

Double or nothing it's stock.
I drove the ZO6 to work today and there's no comparison. It pulls so much harder it's rediculous. You guys really had me worried about it, but I'm certain about it now. We should have a pool going on this.

That's never fun
