Hector what were you running stock? How are you getting off the line? Just having it in D or do you slam it from neutral after getting the RPM up? Is his MTX killing you more in 60' times or later? Just wondering...can't really help you at all

Just wondering...can't really help you at all this was his first time at the track so he doesn't have any time slips for his car stock. I sure hope he didn't do any neutral drops with it... unless he really wants to replace the tranny. I don't know what his 60' times are cause I never looked at his time slips.

As fast as an SVT with an automatic transmission. I'd be thrilled if my car got under 18... I doubt it ever will.

Anyway I just slammed on the gas with the O/D off. No neutral drops. Now that is just plain stoopid. I don't know my 60' times since I am not at home but it is just the fact I have a ATX. I bet with the all the same mods I have now on a MTX I would be running low 16's with a good launch. I just got to deal with the crappomatic.
