Yeah its stock except for the tires. The 06s are supposed to be able to run 13 flat with a good driver and good conditions. My friend is a good driver andit was on a cool day.

98LS1, that would probably help alot of people..especially those who think that powershifting doesnt involve the clutch...

I don't think I would feel too comfortable shfting with never taking my foot off the gas. But that's what powershifting is, correct?
yeah your right. I accually tried powershift but i'm so used to regular shifting that i pretty much couldn't do it.
i thought powershifting damages your engine......badly......am i wrong?[&:]

Faster than my granny shifting on my video at the bottom. It was only the 4th day I had the car, was trying to be gentle with it.

I was shifting so fast in my 02' GT I Had, that the palm of my hand would hurt afterward for a bit. Was nice because I had the Steeda Tri-Ax, this Vette has the nasty stock crap. No pleasure in a fast shift here, too mushy and plush for me. Maybe I was manhandling the Stang a bit too much...but hey, I got the job done. I'm sure you would agree.

Weak-*** Shifting

Sorry guys, haven't been online in a couple days. This is kinda half assed/short shifting/power shifting on a quick run to about 115'ish mph. Speedo don't work, so I was going off what my dyno said. Top of 4th was about 125-127mph on a dyno, so I'm figuring some wind resistance would slow that down. This was just to let some guys know how the tranny reacts/works with the proshifted setup, there's more to the vid than this, but this is the jist of it. At the strip at WOT you can barely hear the motor break up b/w shifts on a proper powershift.

And yes BB, it is with flip flops! [8D] Was I prepared for this or what.... If my buddy comes up tonight there will be a new vid of a ride along with the TH400, and perhaps a run or two if we can get anyone to bite.
