    oh yeah first race after the cam and LT's

    well this is in my Z28, i was comin home after goin to fat class. lol. i go to weight watchers, yeah yeah laugh if you want but i lost 115lbs goin there. anyway, i was driving along and notice some tail lights up a little ways and thought they looked suspiciously like mustang tails, but i've been wrong before, so i tip the gas in a little bit more and catch on up to him, and yep i was right , a 03- 04 ish GT. so i drop from 6th down to 5gh with a little blip of the gas, then down to 4th with another blip, which on a car with a cam LT's and freakin loudmouth, there no way on god green earth he didnt know i was there. anyhow i paced him for a sec waitin then i thought he jumped so i nailed it and shot like 4 cars out before i realized he didtnt jump. anyhow i drove along till we finally got a light and when he rolled up he had his window down and we talked. he said he knew i was gonna cream him, but he would give me a run anyway, i told him dont be so sure because i spin all through 1st and 2nd. so the light turns green and i try to roll on the gas but spin anyway, and still pull half a car because he was spinnin too. then i power shift to 2nd without even lifting off the gas, and spin half way through 2nd but kept on pulling on him, by the end of 2nd i was 2 cars out and tried to power shift to 3rd but the damn clutch was doin that thing these cars do and wouldnt let it go in. so lifted and tried again and it went in and i pulled on a few more cars but he might have quite by then.

    Nice! Although it is hard not to spin them, why did you power shift it?? That is guaranteed tire spin. I would have feathered it a little... And power shifting is HELL on that car's clutch. May wanna try an LS7 clutch on that thing...

    I've read that the clutch master cylinder in the f-body's is "too small" and that upgrading will make the 2-3 shift do able haha.
    There's no replacement for displacement.
