ain't scurred of what?

 

Apparently either of our cars. And he rightfully shouldn't be.

 

The comment was directed at Sidewayz, we are friends, it's kinda an inside joke.

 

Stock, yours running 15.0, his 13.0-13.3 .

So, the way you pulled, your must have dropped almost three full seconds. Good job!

 

You don't understand, that car doesn't run anywhere near 13's up here. That's car is about a mid 14 second car up here. Brand new vipers run high13's here, 99-02 Cobras are in the 15's. A stock fox body mustang typically runs in the mid-high 16's. If that gives you any kind of an idea.

 

Whaaaaaa? Nobody told my car this. 6-speeds do appear to be a bit faster, all else being equal. Less drivetrain loss and steeper rear diff gearing.

 

Yeah..someone didn't fill me in on the autos being quicker... consistant...hells yeah..but quicker? I think the 6 speeds win out due to slight advantage of gearing/power.

 

4l60es have a better 1st gear and if you've got the optional 3.23s then autos are typically faster than T56s unless you've got a good driver

and with an auto you can tune the shifts to be faster/firmer

 

Uh.. there is no 'unless you've got a good driver' scenario...if you are going to say the auto is faster you have to assume equal drivers or it's a skewed perception to say the least.

I had a 4L60E with 3.23s and it was not faster / quicker than the T-56 cars at the track...I ran good times but couldn't compete with the M6 cars in anything but the 1/8th mile.

After the manual valvebody/tuning/kevlar clutches/stall/shiftkit it was a different story but then you are comparing 2200.00 built trans vs stock T56... not really a good comparo IMHO.

 

If my car was a 6-speed, it would be faster when stock than it is after the mods I've done (mods and ET in sig).
