If yours or mine pulls third gear like the stock LS-3, relatively speaking, then both our cars are going to go from 70 to 110 in the blink of an eye...

Ok.. we really didnt get pulled over.. we pulled ourselves over when the red and blues went spinning.. but he was more interested in the other guy... so we slipped away unnoticed.
and yes.. Doug was funny, there is no first gear if you are in boost, second not much better and if I am in 3rd cruising I can blip the throttle and lay rubber all the way up to 70mph.
What gets me is that 60-90 in literally 1.5 seconds... thats how that DFW cop got me, he had to be really quick on his trigger to catch that speed burst cause i braked right after.... GOOD LUCK Robert!

But be careful on the roads - there is nothing hairier than breaking tires loose at highway speeds.  You are then a drifter - like it or not. |
I like this Tom guy, never really listened to him until i watch the youtube vids you posted in your thread Speedster, he is fun to listen to. Watched the NRE TV videos for 2hrs.
