Sideways-IN-fourth. LOL

 

How bout new tires.

 

sure shaun . u were in second .. u just didnt know it

btw shaun, i earned my nickname on DRY ground on a hot sunny day when my car was bone stock that was all in skilled (aka rough) shifting into 3rd

im sure dave can vouch for my shifting skills

 

Today was pretty slick. My 78 truck was hydroplaning all over the place. Had a few decent drifts going today but I am badly out of practice so I had lots of fishtails as well . When my (pos) camaro had the 4.56 rear gear in it was pretty exciting going into 3rd. 4th gear got a HARD bark with the aircare carb on. With the holley Im sure it woulda been a slide. And ya, this was in the dry, and ya you gotta love torque.

 

Yep yep yep, got to be careful on wet roads after a long dry spell! Roads can be slippery!

 

Yeah gotta love torque, my 3 cyl firefly spins them in 2nd at about half throttle, gotta love torque

 

Be careful with those sideways handles. They are known to blow tires and hit the wall sideways at the track. My firehawk tires are still gripping like glue even in this rain. I'm just wondering why I'm still driving the bird in this weather. The hawk will go into hybernation next month unfortunatly. We sports car lovers should live in California or Florida.

 

Even I was spinning them today. Gotta love it.

Damnn.. you guys pack some power!! I can't imagine what will happen if it snows!!!


You'll be all over the roads!!!!

 

yep then you can call me sideways into 6th!!!! gotta love it when people get excited that they went sideways in the wet weather

 

I stabbed the gas from a light in my 6000 today, and my digital dash went upto 60 kph before I was moving anywhere. Sweet.

 

I have seen the light !!

 

buhahahaha

 

Well all I know, is that I looked at my dyno sheets and I'm pretty sure none of you guys has 390# of torque at 2000 rpms.

Also I wasn't shifting into fourth I was cruising in fourth and then gave it a bit off gas. Either way i wasn;t expecting to get a wiggle on and it was kind of fun.

 

97, don't let these guys get the best of you, they are all just jealous. Those ae some great numbers in the torque department. It must make driving it a lot of fun.

As for a wiggle, well... I think you have suffered enough harassment. I will leave it alone!
