Re: Finally ran my mx
Well, that MPH is pretty low for a manual, which is why I was hoping maybe it was a slushbox. MPH indicates power, so I'm guessing you're a smidge down. Launch and shift points?

Re: Finally ran my mx
Don't you love the sound of a motor banging off the rev limiter in neutral <p>

Re: Finally ran my mx
when u launch an automatic do u just floor it or do u put in into neutral? some idiot was first in line in his new automatic saturn sc2 and ruined my first drag experience. he blew his tranny and i had to push him off the track at palmdale in the summer. i ran 17.2 there stock. and "custom distributor" it cut out a lot and died a few weeks later. it was so hot out this old couple in their own ford lightenings were running consistent 15.1's and my friends type-r was having a hard time runing 15.2
bit of topic but i just looked at the specs for
the 1.6 sc... and 160/6000 155/4000 it starts pulling a little less but sooner than a kl... im impressed...

Re: Finally ran my mx
Well when I race an automatic, I hold down the brake and rev the motor up right before the torque converter locks up and take off from there.<p>
Putting it in neutral and dropping it into drive is the stupidest ****ing thing anyone could do.
