Great car... sorry driver. I went down to Z-max last Friday and got in 3 runs. First run I got a so-so launch and made a clean 1-2 shift. But heres where it goes wrong the 2-5 shift. I shifted right to 5th and ran a 15 something. Did the same thing on the next run except I pulled it out of 5th and back to 3rd. I ran a 14.7 on that run. 3rd times a charm... not. I spun real bad on the launch but I did get a clean shift to 3rd and ran a 14.4 at 103 MPH. Boy did I stink up the strip. But the car could easily run low 13s, I just need to calm down and put a good run together. My son should of drove my car he got 13.9 out of his 350Z at 99 MPH. But I will return soon and get a little better times down.

 

As long as you had fun that is all that matters. Running a stick at the track is definitely not as easy as it looks. Good job and keep trying!!

 

No kidding. Manuals take more skill to drive to the limit.

 

This helps explain why you NEVER use one if you're going for money.

 

Thanks guys. I have always run manuals until I got my 71 Challenger and 70 GTX. Both are automatics. I think that driving my 5 speed Stealth as a daily driver has made me shift too wide on the R/T 6-speed... that and alot of adreinalin. But I promise to bring a 13 sec time slip back next time and bring respect back to the Lear household. LOL
