In-car video

Kenny Wigington · 07-02-2008, 09:35 PM

I have watched several videos, and tons of runs at the tracks. Always enjoyed watch stick cars. That was the best in car I have seen, and now I want a stick car even more. God, That looks like fun. I know its a good deal more work, but man.....

Love it man! Of course I have no sound at work to listen. The all time best video though is the Steve Ficacci video on YouTube. Bangs 3rd gear and the visor hits him in the head. HAHAHA. The best sounding 396 on the planet barr none!!

I love that video! But Evan, I don't understand one thing. Why does the track go our of view and all you see is sky when you launch? My car doesn't do that? Interesting. Jim

Neat vid Evan. I always wanted to try something like that in my car. I might be afraid what I see with the shift light though.

Not to mention where I would mount it!

Awesome! Makes me wish I had a 5-speed. I think I need to petition NHRA.

Dear NHRA,
Seeing that you gave all the 2-speed auto trans racers an extra gear, I feel the same should apply to the 4-speed stick racers. You already gave 4-speed acceptance to 3-speed (manual) only vehicles so to be fair, any car can ad one extra forward gear.

Evan, what is your launch and shift RPM on this video?
I can also tell your Advanced Clutch is dialed in perfectly, at least from my audible perspective. Engine pulling down on launch and shifts is barely detectable; if at all.
Yes, you definetly have that clutch dialed in!

Killer! The sweetest sounding 5-OH ever! Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video. Love the stick cars, even the Fords! LOL

Put the slicks on the rear of your car and report back to us. I guarantee if you launch hard enough you'll see clouds. lol
