Care to enlighten us or is it super top secret?

Did it come in one of those super snazzy secret agent brief cases???

Oh please, do tell!

Did the deal on the seat rails?

JUIC3D

In progress at least. If everything goes as planned, I'll have manual racks for both seats in the next week or so.

Joe_G

Because racecar.

JUIC3D

^ yep, pretty much

Who knows though, I'm very particular about my seating position and that was the biggest reason I had to get a 3LT model. I'll lose some adjustability in the seat and it might not be something I can live with.

Well it will be a week tomorrow and I have put around 700 mi on the LS9 clutch and I have to say it is perfect. You would almost never know it wasn't the clutch that came with the car if you didn't drive it everyday. Not 1 single sound comes from the trans or clutch. I will use this again no problem.

JUIC3D

That's great. The super lightweight aluminum flywheel does not work well as a dampener so a lot of neutral rattle is transmitted through the cockpit. That's the only thing about this one that is undesirable and it's certainly not a deal breaker. The clutch feels great

Sooooooo..... whats the update on the Mantic clutchJustin???? Any test passes, 60fts to feel this clutch out at the track and report back with real results????? Is it in the 1.3X's yet?

JUIC3D

Update is Mantic clutch is great. I got my new mickeys mounted yesterday and plan on making the first passes next Thursday. I used a buddies 295/45-19 Mickeys(monster truck tires) and hated them. I tried launching high and low and still only cut a 1.7 60ft. I made 6 passes and cut 6 1.7 60fts with the same 11.1 ET. . .

I'm excited to see how my regular tires feel and hook up with the new clutch.

Stay tuned

FARTPIPE you gonna join us at the MIR meet in November?

Fartpipe

Only if Justinjor comes!!!!

JUIC3D

I'd love to meet and get some advice from you FP-no doubt about that but I won't be there. The spread from primary/alternate date is too much time off for me. It looks like a great event and I'm sure a lot of fun and memories will be had and I look forward to the war stories when it's in the books.

Fartpipe

Justinjor I will extend my olive branch of love to you. You can stay at my house while up (nothing fancy there chief LOL!) Stay up from Wed-to Saturday and head home saturday afterwards. This will give you a window of 3 racing days at 3 good tracks and 3 day window of weather. OK DONE!!! Next excuse? I wanna see the mantic clutch mobile popping wheelies with back to back runs and get some photochop in there for ya.

JUIC3D

That's awfully generous of you FP. I'll talk with the wife and see what she says. How far are you from MIR? I have a good buddy in PA I'd like to go visit as well so that could possibly work out.

Fartpipe

York, Pa. 17404 as of now. We are selling our house and moving into something bigger hopefully. I'm about 2.5hours from MIR is the bummer part But i'm sure you've noticed it hasnt stopped me from going by any means. I think Gary2004Z06 is close to 4-5hours away from MIR. Heck Ranger is about the same amount of time you are from there and he might come up LOL!

JUIC3D

2 hours is nothing. I drive about 45 mins to my track every week. I'll keep you posted

Fartpipe

ok over 2 months later and I still didnt hear you girls out cutting some new PB and J's with this mantic clutch? Are you girls holding out on us until we buy you lobsters for dinner?

JUIC3D

2 months of hot crappy summer weather... patience young grass hoppa
