There's a reason why most all drag racing cars are automatics...

And I take it you've never driven a high hp car on a drag strip before. It's not as much of a walk in the park as you make it out to be.

:iagree:

That's like saying what's the point of taking a really fast car to a drag strip. Theres no skill involved in making a fast car go fast in a straight line. I want to see you get that same time in a stock Nissan versa manual. Now that takes some real skill :p

Boris the Russian did it in a 1980s 3 series when I was at MIR last year. It was hilarious... rowing through the gears on your way to 9.58 @ 154. The thing would probably run 8s with a 2spd auto. :bowrofl:

When I hear supercharger whine I just think


EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's incredible.

Red370 03-27-2011 06:26 PM

the tire shredding low end torque that a supercharger puts out gives me a raging boner.

Manual car and high horsepower = one wild ride down the strip!

Nice vids! What was the fastest time you hit on the strip with the S2K?

christian370z 03-28-2011 10:21 PM

I can not imagine getting sideways at 170+mph!
