Default RE: another kill

yah it was 2 door. it was also fairly new, i'd say 2004 or newer. it moved right along though, he had me off the line for about 10 feet then i went by, i grinded second and missed third and still won.

i dont know whats going on with my shifts. i cannot not grind second when i'm on it, and i'm missing 3rd more and more. my car has a shorty shift, but i dunno what it is. i'm thinking about buying a pro 5.0 shifter, cuz they say that they guarantee no more missed 3rd, and a new quadrant and cable should take care of the grinding.

just about every aftermarket shifter these days have the offset springs to center the shifter into the 3-4 slot... ive never missed third with my hurst... but id be damned if i could grab third with my stock shifter

To everyone making the comments about street racing: We all know its a bad idea and illegal, but people are still going to do it.
