88GT460 said:lol, john.. On the way to look at some more cars today this 99-2002 trans am reved at me.. so I jump out and get beside him and we raced twice going from a roll.. his was a 6-spd btw.
first roll i was in third gear at 3000rpm, both hammer it and I immediately jump half a car, shift to fourth and his car is at my bumper... well, ok.. that was weird
second roll i was in 2nd at about 3000rpm, both hammer it and we're side by side until top middle of fourth when he is only half a car ahead of me...
that put more confidence in my car, but I know he should have taken me.. maybe his engine just has been ragged.. who knows. a race is a race and an LS1 trans am only put half a car on me.. w00t, he was from kansas .. but was a friendly guy and said good race
jasonh_86 said:That's the guy i raced last night!!! he's a really cool guy man.. he said my car sounded nice and he even took pics of it w/his car haha.. i beat him 3 times out of 3 by a couple cars each time
88GT460 said:wow, I wonder what is wrong with his car.. since I stayed with him when I raced

thats the way i always looked at it. Fayetteville is in northwestern AR and the hogs play in the SEC. i mean collegiate football conferences are by no means a geographical reference, but it made sense. we'll stick around for a while, as long as you bring punch and pie4u2nv said:I used to live in AR (Cabot, about 15 years ago). I think most all the college teams are in the SE conference to play other teams, so that is where I figured AR threads would go.
Honestly, I don't care if you guys stay. Let me know if you want to move and it'll be done.
GT 5spd said:We talked to him a Few months back and he told us he shifted at like 4200 RPM..........No Lie.......So i guess Driver.......he has alot of power ....
5spd GT said:Yep, exactly. He told me a while back that he shifted at 4700rpm when racing and driving skills play a role.
Ya'lls race sounds about right. I figured it would be a close one between the non-pi headed 98 against the 5.0L. I'm surprised dustin pulled at 90mph or so...that is when you shift with those 3:27's so the time between shifts may have caused that...good races!
Well guys my clutch is slipping pretty badly again...crapola
88GT460 said:He probably suffers from the skip-shift feature in the V8 cars from 93-02 where if you get close to redline, the car nearly forces you to shift into a different gear. Its a weird feeling and it can be over ridden but I'm sure he doesn't know that and that is why he shifts so soon.
