Cool How does 9.68@141.5 in a 6-speed sound

Taner just called me and let me know that he crushed my f-body 6 speed record with a 9.68 at 141.5 mph.

I'm not sure what the 60' was but I know that he pulled a 1.29 60' earlier on a run. Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Taner.

10.21, all over the place 1.30 60'

then it was 9.78 @ 138.... too rich 1.277 60'

Did you interview your output shaft after that 1.299 60'?

Seriously, have you had it snap yet? Still using a stock one?

Congrats, that is beyond impressive for a 6-speed!

It definitly makes all that thrashing worth while when you bust a record! 1.27 60' is just awesome! Don't change a thing! In fact record all your tire pressures, airbag pressures, shock settings!! Don't mess with success
