No I haven't had it on a track yet. There isen't one anywhere near my town. I work at a Stockcar track ( Barrie Speedway nascar sanctioned) I'm a tech inspector. So Saturday night's are out for me . I put in 5 gallons of 115 octane race fuel last Sat. ( $80!!!:rant: ) This car is like a pitbull with AIDS! This is my first car with a standard shift so it could be me but.... I had it out on my way to a local cruise night and at 50 miles an hour when I punch it either the clutch slips or the rear tires break loose at about 4000rpm? I definetly could smell rubber a few times but at other times I thought I could smell clutch? I can 't use 1st gear at all. I have to start out in 2nd as the clutch ( I think its clutch?)really chatters. I think it still needs" a little refinement" All I can think of is that the hyd. line between the master and the slave is too small and not letting the clutch realese quick enough? but why does it work in the other 3 gears?o No: I've noticed cracks between the rear window and the side window already though!:TU: Cool! This is without a doubt the fastest and most powerful car I have every owned or driven. It's a white knuckle ride!!!!
Nice work very cool car. You should get the criss cross brace in your trunk before the cracks get worse. Seriously they are not an eazy permanent fix. Tell us what you have in your engine heads cam etc. Haveing to buy race fuel for your street car sucks. And now with the price of fuel it really sucks.
Dude! That is seriously one of the coolest engine bays I've ever seen. Wow. And then you top it off by making it a stickshift!!! :TU:
I just tried some race fuel I don't really need it. It's about 10.1 It runs fine on high test pump gas . Cam is TA 290-94H , TA intake, headers, pocket ported stock heads. Roller rockers, TA timming cover/oil pump. Nothing too crazy. I'm about to put in my 3rd clutch in 100 miles though. Stock just won't cut it! I just picked up a centerforce dual disc to put in. Hope that lasts better! Now it's OK till I get up to 4000RPM's then it slips.
