Very impressive as always, the car looks great, performs great! Hackjob somewhere on the car would be a nice touch!

from what i can see the interior looks nice... how did that dash fit in there? alot of trimming?

True, but I just now recalled he told me it was "on it's way out" anyways. His car wasn't as fast as any of 25ths rides, but he said he was repeatedley launching at 5K with M/T's and cutting 1.76 short times...so I'm sure that didn't help.

Our GT40P car (290 rwhp or so) has been 1.59 60', consistent low 1.6xs (Launching at 6250 on Hoosiers).

Been 12.17 @ 110 and consistent 12.2xs (into a headwind at elevation: 3200 feet).

T5 lost 3rd and 4th a while back, but had 80K miles or so and LOTS of track passes. We had it rebuilt and other than my brother saying 2nd gear can be tricky it seems fine to me. I don't think he powershifts it, but I do when racing it.

T5s are hit and miss. Mine gets abused and powershifted as well and has held up for 5-6 years.

I actually like T5s, they shift smooth, cheap to rebuild, lightweight, and fun!

Yes, I and everyone knows they are weak, but we have always gone with the idea that downshifting breaks them pretty good, high RPM will kill them, and having a hard clutch will do it. We run a weak clutch, shift it at 6000 and (hehe I donwshift all our stick cars, oops) avoid downshifting and then getting on the power and they seem to have lasted.

I've always downshifted.. I didnt realize it harmed the tranny. Its not like im doing a crazy hard downshift though..

SVT and 25th - looks like my escape DD is falling through. i'll have more funding for "blue balls".. I just am still up in the air about the color.. too many choices
