hell yeah, that what i call powershifting

hell yeah, that what i call powershifting
yep indeed :D Don't lift, just shift

That looked like fun!:D

And I got an automatic, why?:think:

Ah well, the '73 has a 4-speed in 'er;).

The way the guy was driving it made it look like an automatic.

Two Badazz cars,,that lt1 has some serious top end. :eek:

:bow: :eek: those are some bad a$$ cars!

awsome cars, great sound track :cool:

that white TA was badazzz, especially his shifting :bow:

Nice video, but...........

No wonder so many peeps drive automatics these days. The guy in the LT1 is shifting great, just like everybody should. It kind of freaks me out that it seems amazing to people. I'm nailing shifts like that every race I run. Tends to be hard on the tranny over time. I've broken my 3rd gear synchro and had the tranny rebuilt once a couple of years back, and will probably need it gone through again in another 10,000 miles or so. Matter of fact, I'm hoping I can get the updated ratios from the new '06 C6 Hi Performance package on my next rebuild. Those ratios look perfect to me, better than the stock ratios on my LT1.

I just always assumed shifting like that, and gradually tearing up your T56 over time in the process, was normal.

I hear ya! ^^ :D There are a lot of people who can't drive/shift worth a crap though. I've even seen this between myself and my Dad......when we went to the track, he couldn't run quicker than ~13.20 with his '73 Camaro......I jumped in and got a 12.79!!:D I was listening to his shifts though, and they were slow as hell.....like street driving or something!?:irk:

Its just that some poeple dont really have to balls to shift like this, because they dont want to ruin their car if something goes wrong. And keep in mind that his powershifting which very few people do because of the stress put on the car. Im sure there are many drivers that can shift like this, but its nice to see one in video in such a close race.

I shifted like that from 100,000miles to 160,000 back in my prelude days. Never had a problem with the trans. When i saw the video i was like "man that LT1 has some top end" not man he shifts good. That's how you're supposed to shift when you race or you might as well get an A4.

Pretty even cars, I say the LT1 a tad stronger uptop

yeah by 4th the lt1 would start pulling away

Pretty even cars, I say the LT1 a tad stronger uptop
I agree. Cool video, and cool background music too.

That's how a 6 speed should be shifted. I have vids of me racing in my '97 that would make that guy's shifting seem slow. :P

How do ya figure? :p

I gotta look at that White Bird's mods again!

Yep that is the way to shift, when you do some serious thing. Everybody who drive manual cars, they should of know to shift like those guys. I'am from a European country, and overthere 90% of the cars manual (recently might be little less). So even the girls must knows how to drive it, because you not law to make driving test with automatic car, :eek: and on top of that you must make a mechanical test, what means, you have to know theoretically how the 2, 4 stroke an diesel engine works, and the transmission and brakes . Also you have to know how to change your tires, light bulbs, air filter, and of course know how to check oil, and wather levels in your car, and many other things (yes the girls has to take this test too) (our driving book with the technical informaton together over 200 pages) :D . My wife had a Supra with manual transmission, and she had no problem to shift fast like this guys.:) Please those guys who has auto transmission sport car, don't take personally...... but my own opinion, if it is a sport car must be manual, and knows how to drive it :cool:

Cool races ! Nice vid.

That's nice and all but automatics still make the best drag racers when you have real power.

I wonder if in the list of mods if "LT4 cam" was the stock production cam or the LT4 hot cam. I would guess that they ment hot cam but a kick as# driver can make a big difference. It is easy to tell that that driver in the white TA is a good driver, but does little to illustrate the skill of the LS1 TA driver. We all know, or alteast should be able to admit, that the LSx motors are very strong runners, but are not unstoppable. Despite being strong runners does, not mean that it will run strong, especially in the "wrong" hands. I just don't see the stock LT4 cam being able to pull that off, who knows, just some thing to consider. Either way sweet race and cool vid.
