Help with car
I raced a 07 mustang today and we did from a stop he beat me i couldnt hook.
So 2nd race from a roll in first gear i jump like 1 car in front of him but once the car shifted to 2nd it pulled so slow and i only got about half a car more in like 1/8 race whitch is pretty sad on my part.
My question is what can i do to the auto 05 to not just beat him but to smoke him.

Your car stock for stock should spank him pretty good. If you can't hook, then leave at a lower rpm.
The car shifting slowly is probably addressed in this thread.

Good luck and keep it on the track.

I have the 4 speed transmission. I dont think it worth trading the car in to get a 6 speed, but perhaps it is? If i can get better time in this 4 speed for way cheaper then i think ill go that route.
