Getting It To 12 Seconds
How difficult is it to run the C7 in a 12 second 1/4 on a manual? Are you going to have to beat it to death, running it over and over again? How good do you have to be with a manual? Or are most 1/4 mile times going to be in the mid 12s?
I ask since I can drive a manual but am no power shifting or speed shifting expert. I don't even know how long it would take to learn something like that.

Excellent question, 1/4 depend on many factors, I love manuals and I hv one, but I am no expert shifter either, and one mistake and you're done. Temperature outside and the track prep is key to good quarter-mile times, just ask the guys on the East Coast at Atco LOL. Also a Set of slicks or drag radials works wonders for quarter-mile times. I got a manual because it's more fun for me and I go to the track and just have fun, many times your run will suck, sometimes it's epic
