why drive a turbo with a belt when it's much more efficient to use the exhaust?
and that dirty mug sounds just as ugly as the name 'helga'
sorry you feel like you wasted money; sounds like your vehicular enjoyment is actually derived elsewhere...
i, for one, just spent as much as my car's worth in mods again, but i did it for my own driving enjoyment - something i've been experiencing for the last 8yrs in this same car & plan to pass on to my kids (whenever i eventually have them). sounds like one man's trash is another man's treasure.

you are going to actually compare your shifting ability to a professionally built 1500 horsepower capable turbo 400 with transbrake and air shifted?? this shows how retarded you are turbo turd. . this shows how demented you are if you think you can outshift an automatic.

You said autos win races, clearly the auto did not win this race. I'm posting actual results, but "little ed" is on a corvette forum talking about a mustang
he no longer owns. You haven't posted any actual results in the form of dynosheets, videos, timeslips, etc.You are further proving your inability to shift by day-dreaming about an air-shifted automatic transmission. Do you even shift, bro? Post up some actual documented results.

turbo turd is showing us all how stupid and inmature and out of touch he is by insisting that he can outshift an automatic. whopty da!!! this idiot is John Phucking Force and can outshift a race automatic. little turbo turd is so full of chit. I comment whenever I feel like it. have you paid your forum dues? do you even pay? probably not since he shot his wad on this pile of chit car of his. You will never have the knowledge or experience I have now about cars and corvettes in general. Yes I built that mustang and it would have inserted a rod up your cars azz for sure. This guy insist he can out shift a automatic!!! how stupid is that. the only shifter that has the best chance in beating a automatic is a lenco which you dont have. nobody is perfect and even the very best professional driver will make shifting mistakes. a auto never mis shifts and is extremely consistent. the hellcat is a flying brick and was under-powered. if both cars had equal power and weight the automatic car will always make a good consistent pass. Automatics are for super fast cars that rev extremely fast where a split second mistake can cost you your engine. Look at the street racers on tv. every one of those guys make over 1400 horsepower and all run automatics. If you cant see this you are lost dude. shifting is for road racing. automatics are for drag racing. did you know that most of the old can am cars ran automatics. the famous mclaren m8f ran a automaics. the auto can take much more abuse than a stick also. The Chaparrel race cars of the can am days also ran automatics and they were road racers. so you think by beating a slow and heavy hellcat that you can outshift and out perform a automatic transmission. if you had two exact cars both 1000 horsepower cars same weight etc... the auto will win every time. you have illusions of grandeur and try to defend your ridiculous claim that you can shift your car better than a automatics transmission. talk to any knowledgeable drag racer and he will tell you the same thing..autos are for real, real fast cars. not yours.turbo turd.

I like tooling around town pulling gears in a manual but I prefer the consistency of a built auto at the track.... But then again, I’m not the best at pulling gears and wouldn’t bet $500-$1000 on me not missing a gear during a grudge race.

2. You are projecting your subconscious onto others.
You are the one rambling on and on about how cool and fast your cars were back in the 80s, you know like 30 years ago...
