Title: 140 cubes at Mason Dixon
Post by: Sluggo on July 21, 2007, 03:54:56 PM
Best time was a 12.413 at 112.48mph with a 1.933 60'. For whatever reason it was not hooking very well.

It also went 12.433 at 112.01 with a 1.800 60'. On this run I missed 2nd gear and the datalog showed 1.6 seconds total were spent shifting gears, off the throttle. Don't bother ragging on my lack of driving skills as I am very aware.:punchballs:

Nice mph! Since you drive this on the track more than the street now, have you considered getting your T5 proshifted? I may have mine done at some point.

It's funny you mention that Jim.  I called Liberty about 3 weeks ago to check it out.  Looks like a very good option.  I'm going to see what the insides of a T5 look like soon and may be sending them a box full of gears.

And I still drive it more actual miles on the street.  I went to a car show and the grocery store today, about 20 miles. :D
