It now has Tremec TKO 600 with the Spec stage 3 clutch. Its not up to the driver if the car breaks. The car runs on pump gas and 20 inch tires every day. BTW, I'd like to see if you could run in the 11's on 20 INCH STREET TIRES. The cobra has.
    GLad your car runs on pump gas.So does mine..
    Mine run 18" STREET tires..Not drag radials..
    Breaking a tko isnt hard if you dont have a shifter or it hasnt been upgraded.

    My TKO took 4 years of street/strip(40k miles) abuse before finally giving 3rd gear up.The driver has a LOT to do with what breaks.A axle wont bend if you leave easy but will if you leave hard(driving style matters on breakage)..I have broken motors,a tranny,bent 3 sets of axles,bent a d/s,broken a alum flywheel ring gear,destroyed a few clutches..But stuff happens..Because i drive mine hard..
    I can show you a 700rwhp cobra that has never broken one part.Why because he doesnt race it or beat on it..Again depends on the driver.


    As far as 20's hey your car..20's are for the bling crowd..Not the speed crowd..
    Just Your average 600hp mustang

    It's not my car for one. The 20s aren't chrome, so much for your BLING. The car did have a shifter in it and that has nothing to do with a broken 3rd gear. It has to do with broken shift rods. You sure do come off sounding like you have the fastest car around. I'd like to see it as I like Kennne Bell cars. Maybe even hit the highway and see how it stacks up.

    BTW the Integra that started this post has my props. He has one fast car that he can drive every day. Real clean, nice and fast.

    Not the fastest .But been down the track a few times.

    As far as broke shift rod/fork..Its because the SHIFTER wasnt setup correctly..Shifter stops stop broken tranny stuff.

    As far as a highway roll sure..I Gotta lose sometime but 500+hp on 20's ..Not really worried even from a roll..

    But i Never said i had the fastest.I just dont fall for the stupid stuff..
