I do not feel like replacing the clutch yet, although I do know putting drag radials on either way is going to be very hard on my clutch. I have the stock clutch in and it has nearly 40k hard miles on it. It's getting there, trust me. Rolling on from 1st gear won't hurt it, but shifting to 2nd just the slightest bit too hard will. I have a couple of little things I need to get straightened out first, my car is missing at around 2k rpm, and sometimes at wot, and is stumbling at startup. I might have an injector or spark plug problem, let me look into that and I'll get back with you on a time and place. What is the best way to contact you?

yea those F1 cars are going way to slow, they are able to make hairpin turns at 80... how slow I guess someone should tell Ferrari that tehy wasted millions on F1 cars because they are slow becasue they are taking turns at the speed of most corvettes 1/4 mph... What retards...


Just messing with ya... drag racing is cool but just ain't my fancy... i owuld rather stay in it for 20 min instead constantly turning around risk breaking driveline parts at every launch, to each his/her own

Take it to the track and have fun.

Racing from a roll or a dig is dangerous on public roads.

At the dragstrip there is no question who is quickest/fastest

I always thought whomever gets tossed by the track officials first wins.

Yes, I definately will bring the camera. I checked every spark plug and found that one had come lose. I tightened it up, so now I just need to test it out. I'm still not sure why its stumbling at startup....
