all you have to remember for your first few runs, is screw the christmas tree lights! lol! :( just launch when you are comfy.. no need to feel the pressure of going on green :) the only time that that will be slow is your response time, and you shouldn't care about that on your first few runs! Just take your time and launch...

remember the clock starts ticking once you're over the line, not from the green light :)

Yeah FORGED listen to MONA she is a FAST chick with massive burn outs.

R/T (reaction time) how long it takes you to react get off the line after the light has turned green doesn't affect your ending 1/4 mile time ET

So say i race you, let you go first and i wait and get myself comfortable and 5-10seconds after you leave i take off and run my time you get your time blahblah and i still get my 12.5 it doesn't affect it.

The timer starts when YOUR car starts moving.

i think we made our point....3 ppl...damn...

lol! you guys explained it so much better than me! its been so long i forget all the terminology! lol!

i just love those two wheeling launches! those guys launch when they damn well want to! the best bit is when you're halfway down the track and you're thinking.. YEAH BABY! then those beasts just cruis on past.. DOH!!!

such a rush though :( you'll love the experience forged :)

oh.. something else that also helps... music blasting! :) it made me sooo much more relaxed :)

thanks guys and i got the point :( will not try to race the guy next to me like infront of traffic lights, not that I do it anyway.

4th gear should be enough to get me to the end right? what signs on the track tell me where the finish line is? I have no idea what the track end looks like lol n00b

your explaination wasn't too bad, quite visual infact :) wouldnt the helmet blockout the music anyway? I have a fully enclosed motorcycle style helmet.

thats weird...definitely over 160 in 3rd....

what annoys me is that i shift to 4th a good sec or 2 from the end and the fastest i have gone is jsut over 170....

what does my head in is that my fastest time trap speed is less then when i bog down then launch it hits prob 1.5mph higher....

lol! nah of course you do!!! but i know i didn't need the pressure of out launchng my neighbour at the start :) and i'm usually pushing 4th by the time i get to the end... and you will have PLENTY of run off.. cause i found i was releasing the pedal as soon as i approached the time boards... keep the pedal to the floor till you are past :)

music??? saving power.

dont think i got the nuts to do those wheelie launches.....stick to the line...

dont like the idea of shifting while the fronts are in the air.....

NEIN!!!!!! :) lol! i enjoy the music.. usually its blasting and i doubt it'll take that much power! lol!

your explaination wasn't too bad, quite visual infact :) wouldnt the helmet blockout the music anyway? I have a fully enclosed motorcycle style helmet.

yeah same :) thats why its turned up :) iono :) i just like it cause it relaxes me and makes me forget everyones watching :)

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
