hey where do all of you guys race? I never really find myself in a position to be able to utilize the idea of having mt. If you are cruising in 5th gear and someone sneaks you to race you are done.
If you are at the track, maybe you are a pro and can out shift the shiftmatic mode...

MM has very very very lazy shifts and has a bit more drivetrain loss so yes it is slower even on paper, but a new VB pretty much changes that

What ever you do, just watch out for the new Saturn Aura XRs with the 3.6 V6. They will give you a damn run and it is hairline close.

Hey guys, what does VB mean? I tried searching VB but nothing came up. I am guessing it stands for something. If you guys can PM me with what it is I would greatly appreciate it. Also if you have any threads.
Thanks!

I get all my races at the strip. I've taken down a couple 99+ 5MT Mustang GTs (mostly stock), a couple mostly stock LT1 F-Bodies, a modded WRX (he only pulled a 2.1 60 foot so I smoked him), quite a few modded late model Hondas, and a couple GS400s. Running 14.3-14.4@98-100mph gives my car the ability to hang with some decently powerful cars. With auto and the right launch technique, it's pretty easy to holeshot many cars, especially those with manual trannies.
