Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
Took my old DSM to the track and got about 5 passes out of it before the clutch started slipping too much.

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
I have prolly around 50 passes, 8th mile as well. The only difference is a shift into 4th and keeping it pinned. hah.

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
Shane was not talking about shaftplay. Turbos fine, just other issues.
I've been to the strip, just not my car. So..I guess that means..nevaaar!!! I was ready end of last year till it rained out.

You'll eventually run your car, I have faith in you.
We should make a small wager for motovation. See which car will make a pass 1st. My Chevelle or your 1G. You've got good odds of winning as your car runs and mine has been in pieces since 02.

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
I've made little over 70 passes in all types of cars: DSM's, Evo, Lightning, Honda's, FWD SR20's, Neon (yes...) ect. The drag strip is where my heart is. It's a blast everytime I go out. I just hate counting down the days till the next time I go haha.
