Swing by, the car is here for your viewing pleasure!



Hmmmm,the trans powershifts effortlessly. The factory shift is good and the gating is even better. You will have to try to miss a gear.
But I don't know how they'll hold up. The car has about 30 passes on it (all of which were powershifted) and it has developed a howell, sounds like a supercharger in nearly all gears.

Howling noise after 30 passes, not a good sign lol. Glad to hear they shift nice. How is the skip shift to deal with?

The skip shift is really no big deal, the car pulls smoothly when "lugged". Meaning that the car can be shifted into fourth as low as 800 rpm and smoothly accelerate without chugging.
But if you drag out first gear a little it will go right into second, really not the pain that the GM's are.

Insane, that powerplant is a dominator. I can't wait to see what you do with it down the road.

Function over form.

Using that logic, there are some shitbag honda's that are quick but I would never drive one......ever.

Great Job Mike, sorry we couldnt make Atco, had some family obligations. Did you run into Mike@L&M? He said he was going.

Opinions are like...well....you know...I am biased since I bought a 2010 but the 2010's and up are a much better look than the 05-09's and the interiors are night and day.

Agree to disagree lol The front's yes, the rear, ehh not so much. Interior, without a doubt night and day! IMO

Mine may look better in the rear with the panel between the lights to help break it up or help it flow...

 

[Rygen]

I'll quote Ron (navbtcret) after we watched Mike go 12's bone stock this past weekend at Thompson....

"all of a sudden that ass end is not so bad after all"

 

[navbtcret]

Mike is was great to see the car run. I can over look the front and rear for that kind of performance out of the box. I may have to buy one by years end.

Congrats on the times. What mods do you have in store?

Too early to tell. The car is completely new with no break in. Things are tight. Be "easy" on the car (following the manual) for a few thousand miles then start racing it and it'll be a different story. It does not surprise me the gears are whining now after being beat on so hard so soon. They weren't ready for that yet. Not only that, I'd expect a little faster times once everything has "loosened up." MPG should also increase as well. I know mine did after I put a few thousand miles on it. Brand new it was horrible and I drove it like a grand ma 95% of the time.

Congrats on the on the car.

I was parked in the TS lot and didn't see an '11. Were you the one that asked me if I had a PH turbo?
