I love power shifting

6spdChick · 10-14-2006, 04:15 AM

I HIT 15.5 finally....
rt-- .595
60-- 2.400
330-- 6.559
1/8-- 10.070
MPH-- 71.28
1000-- 13.052
1/4-- 15.568
MPH-- 89.48

So I learned how to power shift and finally started to drop my time

And yes I know everyone is going to say it's bad for the car but please save it :)

Also someone was talking about the saturns being like honda look at this car I thought it was an SI at first....

WOW that saturn looks a LOT like they are copying our style.... Looks like a silver FG2 except for the tail lights! If you could see the crappy GM-style interior you wouldn't think it was honda at all, I'm sure.... and that rear lip looks like shit.

Power shifting makes me happy. But I always get worried when I bounce off of the rev limiter.

:rolleyes:

Do your research before you talk....

...the Saturn came BEFORE the 2006 Honda Civic...:rolleyes:

Told you it wasn't your car's fault....

6spdChick · 10-14-2006, 12:10 PM

Well, it was her fault

Shouldn't the car be getting low 15s without power shifting?

It's possible, but it's not guaranteed. I'm beginning to think, however, it's not you or your car's fault (obviously, not your car), but driving conditions are the only other variable I can think of. What was the temp? Track conditions? Is the track well-prepped, or is it kinda crappy, etc?

6spdChick · 10-14-2006, 12:18 PM

It's always 10000000 degrees outside and 100000% humidity lol It's seriously at least 80 with no less than 80% humidity. People say the track prep is crap but I don't know I've never been to another track to compare.

Trade in for a car with some torque?

Just kidding...kind of. I really don't know because I've never had the pleasure of driving a manual. Sorry.

Based on what I've read around though it would help to maybe get some drag radials, or full-blown slicks, on smaller diameter rims or something of the sort on the front, and then probably launching at a higher rpm. Even then I imagine there'd still be some spinning. I doubt there's a whole hell of a lot that can be done in stock form, but again I'm purely guessing so don't listen to me. Heh.

I'm no pro drag racer by any means, in fact I've never drag raced on a track. But my first gut instinct is if I wanted to go fast down the 1320 I would've bought a better car for that purpose.
