Alberto, man when are you gonna learn to drive. That kid that drooled on you back in the day could hit 11.7@117 with his left hand. I didnt spend 4 days straight in your garage to watch you b**ch shift your way into the 11's.

Nice! those are some hardcore shifts! I can't shift like that going from 2nd-3rd, I **** my pants too much of going back in 1st.

BTW, are you still on your first tranny Alberto? I'm still on my first tranny(2003), no grind, shifts perfect and I have 25K miles, around 15 track days and 120 drag runs...

Very cool - congrats. Jealous, even, cause I'm trapping 118 - 120 mph but never have gotten less than a 12.3 (on street tires, best 60' was 2.01s).

Are you running stock axles? I've toyed with the idea of getting DR's/slicks but concerned about snapping an axle...
