how could you the "king" not do it in every gear, when some1 like me...who "cant drive" can do it all day without a problem? lol

I dunno. Some people THINK they are powershifting, but they really aren't. My clutch physically couldn't do it when it was stock, so I'm not sure how yours was. Also, if you were able to do every gear with ease, then your ETs would have been lower, too.

i ran a 12.2 i'd say thats pretty damn quick considering my 60 was a 1.8x...if i didn't spin a ton i would have had a better launch.....i was afraid to let off the gas too much and start wheel hopping and break something... im new to going to the track, you've been doing it for a while.....i few more track nights and i'll have it down... but i have been racing around on the streets for a while

cheers

Yeah, a 12.2 @ 113 on a crappy 1.8 60' would definitely require some fast shifting, so you're making up for your inability to launch through quick shifting. Still, though, I don't know how you were able to do every gear with the stock clutch. That's not normal.

if you do it slip the clutch don't pop it. bad things happen. You will find the weakest link in your car if you do that. power transfers through the clutch to the trans to the transfer case to the driveshafts to the axles to the wheels. you pick the place most vulnerable and thats where it will break...........probably the clutch and those aren't cheap or easy to replace.
