Post up your pulls and condition and list your mods.

Car is back to stock besides wheels, which are for sell by the way haha. And it's 45 degs out.

Poor shifting and massive clutch slipping.

I wouldn't call it poor shifting, it's called WOT shifting.

Slipping the clutch significantly at 6700rpm when upshifting is not part of a good WOT run.

Observe in this video(skipping to 15 seconds) for a good clean WOT run:

I just have it done like that because the power band drops off at that rpm making no power ontop! If I had a tune obviously I'd go to redline. We can go to the track anytime you want man. Just let me know lol 😁

Just curious if you've ever had any bona fide professional track instruction? Or are you just that good naturally? Because all I've ever read about from you is street racing (I LOL'ed when you said "we're known in Baltimore") and self-guided laps around the 'Ring while stationed in Germany.

If you had, you'd know that a real trackday isn't "racing" where people go to settle scores. And street racing is stupid! Way too much Fast & Furious in your posts.

There, I said it.

Pretty much why I've always ignored his posts.
