Huh????

Again, my driver's are just drivers--Bone stock and untouched. Automatics with A/C and cruise control.

My Hot Rods are usually 5 or 6 speeds, manual trans so I can keep the engine in it's power range.

Why would this be a problem for you???? I commented on a post question concerning stall speeds and camshafts in a Hot Rod saying that I preferred 5 or 6 speeds....... Why would this have anything to do with the fact that my Bonneville is an automatic??? I would like to trade it this summer for a G6 with a 6 speed if that's any consulation.......

Dave What ever makes you Happy . If you don't Know about some thing that's OK Really it's COOL where Friends

No, we're not.... What is it I'm supposed to be stupid about now???? I just prefer running manual trans in my cars..... The post didn't even concern you, and now you want to make an issue out of it.... I simply asked why more people don't run manual transmissions. More gears means you can keep the engine in the power band it was built to be operated in. Period..End of Statement...That's all I said......... Now what is it in there that makes you feel you have to get on my case AGAIN???????????

I give up with you . With all the Racing you have done ? You mean to tell me you do not know why guy's do not run stick at the Track ? . Cool down Friend and be nice

Yup, I do in fact know why we run automatics on the track. One of our cars runs a Coan Glide, the other a Vindicator built c6. However, I was talking about 5 and 6 speeds in Hot Rods.... Again, it would seem that you read things into my posts...... I am, however, really glad that you give up on me....... I'm really bored with your 12 second street car stuff....

It's like I said on another post. Just read what I write, don't read things into it......

We all can't be so fast Like you And I am real Happy with my 12 sec cars Maybe with them ported heads I will drop in the high 11s Man that first one Looks real good . And only 16 Hours COOL

My last input on one of your arguments..... I think it is very inaccurate of you to say "We all can't be so fast like you". I would hope that evey young aspiring Hot Rodder DOES become faster then me!!!!!! I really hate to hear racers say that's all the faster they can go.... I would like to think that forums like this and many others would supply information and motivation to make racers want to go fast and not be content with what they are running now... Heck, I'm not happy with what we run now, I'd like to be running a 7.90 car... Then once we got through half a season I would want to run 6.90's, and on and on....

Anyone can be faster then me... If they want it bad enough and are willing to learn and to do the things required to go faster..... Tango, you have told me countless times you are perfectly happy with a 12 second car, till now you say maybe you'll be in the 11's!!!! I guarantee you that should you get in the 11's you'll want to be in the 10's, and on and on....

Saying can't be fast my like to me is a defeatist attitude and sounds like people have given up before they even challenged themselves to try!!!!!

Maybe next time you should say that you can't be as fast as me if indeed that is how you really feel... But I think it is very presumptous of you to use "we"...... I think the majority of people on here CAN build a faster car then they have now, and many of them WILL do the things necessary to go faster.....

Now, go start another senseless argument with somebody who actually cares......
