its a 5 speed I had the stock 17s on it and it was my first time racing but even I know not to dump it off the line with street tires.And the car has a stock gear only thing is done is the mid pipe on back.I will be installing 4.10s soon and tires.Oh yea I went back I ran a 9.80 still a bad 60 ft but it came from driving different but I will update the times.
