back in the days when syncros wern't mainstream. With crashboxes like in the original Rover Mini, people would shift without pressing the clutch. Now you can do this even today if you know your car very well.
I thought that was relevant.

so, secretly you are the fastest?![]()
I've got the video and timeslip to prove it.Originally Posted by 6.0GTO

I'd rather this forum not know the real times my car has put down. Soon as I am finished with the new set up I will post the old times when I have some new times to compare them too.
wait, you hide your times so you can "race cars you know you can beat"?Originally Posted by ThackerSS
thats what Im getting from thisOriginally Posted by stygiosracing
The only thing you should be getting out of it is why you got pulled as bad as you did by a stock GTO with intake and exhaust with your Offroad X pipe, intake and exhaust Cobra.Originally Posted by DieselNuts
That offroad X pipe gave you about 10-15 rwhp over that 404 you dynoed before...![]()
holy shiit man, you just wont quit. We both know you pulled your entire lead from the launch and your car length head start+jump
You were not gaining.Originally Posted by DieselNuts
Even with me baby shifting and looking over my shoulder WONDERING if you were still in the gas.

the lies just don't stop coming....![]()
What LIES. Go back, listen to the video.Originally Posted by DieselNuts
Go back, watch the video. Watch the headlights... through second gear I pulled a full car on you.

you are so full of shiit its not even funny.
if your car is here:
----------------THACKER
and my car is here:
-------DieselNuts
And you get the jump and I spin through ALL of 1st gear, naturally you are gonna pull a good lead on me.
You are not a man of your word. You are 2 faced and a liar. Everyone knows that here and even though you did beat me, at least I am still respected and liked by people on this forum and in real life. The complete opposite can be said for you.
Don't yall find it ironic that this guy KNOWS, as shown by his constant quoting of mods and RWHP numbers, what everybody supposedly has? Why do you think that is? Gee, I wonder.
Like I said before, he has a cheater car that he sand bags with that he only uses to pick races only HE can win under HIS terms, HIS rules, HIS time. Funny how that works.
Noticed that when I challenged him to bring it to the track so we can all see first hand how much a "driver" he really is......he backpedalled faster than a husband who gets caught by his wife with his pecker in the secretary's glory hole.![]()
I didn't back pedal at all? I told Willum14b I'd love to race him at the track in another thread but he back pedaled and said he "only raced for 10k"Originally Posted by Jaimecbr900
You are obsessed dude.
I'm not obsessed at all. I was the one that told you to bring it to the track on the 23rd and you started with all your excuses which you've yet to reply to. Remember....."....just WHO preps the public street YOU like to race on?..." That's exactly what I asked when you used the excuse that Commerce wasn't "prepped" right. Remember that? I do. That's the backpedalling I was talking about. YOU are more than willing to take it to the street where there are no lights, no slips, plenty of room for excuses, and damn sure no "prepping", yet you won't race at the track.Originally Posted by ThackerSS
I also told you that since YOU were claiming to be the "fastest stock" GTO to come on out and PROVE IT. YOU won't. So that means you're claiming something only YOU think you've proven to some ghosts down at Silver Dollar. Ironically enough, someone else came in and posted the actual list of people WHO DO have slips to back their claims up and YOUR name was no where on it. Why is that?![]()
It's funny that you pound on your chest about your racing prowess and how "fast" your car is, yet you only back it up when YOU think you know exactly what that other person has. Just like I said, you only race races that YOU think YOU can win. That's a rosy world you live in....that is until you man up and race where there is no chance for excuses, i.e. the track.
How much more clear than that can I be?
Thacker, there was a call out by onebadGT, and his friend, all for 500ish, u never responded. Just thought u should kno, they will race on ur terms lol. Soooo step up or shut up(and if u step up to them id shut uop at the same time, it seems onebadgt has a anger problem.)
Just a FYI
Back to topic, power shifting is fun to do in other peoples car
/Thread
T-durr
wow im freaking out.... ahhh
So inform me this is my friend justin in his integra

Was that power shifting??? cause if so thats what ive been doing my whole life.
Oh yea and Thacker... just from reading this your just making yourself sound more and more like a idot. Just stop while your ahead. Stop digging yourself a hole.
no tach? Power shifting is no lift or virtually no lift off the throttle, just enough to keep the rpm's from skyrocketing to redline as the gears are changed. Switching the gears will bring the rpm's down some but the closer the gear ratios are to each other the less the rpm's will drop.Originally Posted by Gah, It's Too Hard
The key is to modulate the throttle just enough to allow extra rpm's during the shift so when the next gear is engaged you'll be back to the exact same RPM.
try that with something that actually makes power. If you are at your shift point and hit the clutch with the throttle @ 100% You are gonna hit the rev limiter with the quickness...if its equiped w/one.Originally Posted by southside
I keep it on the floor... and don't hit the rev limiterOriginally Posted by DieselNuts

no
uhhh....some things are only used for one purpose....you wouldnt use a pencil to write on a dry erase board, would you? If you did, it wouldnt work very well, would it? Do you consider that close-minded? Same thing applies to the heel-toe. Everyone has heard of "heel-toe downshifting", but I never heard of "heal-toe accelerating" untill this thread.Originally Posted by Kaiser

so wait... since i'm following this thread with a grain of salt and don't feel like re reading the whole thread...
why would you heel toe to accelerate? where does that even make sense?!? you're going to put on the brakes while trying to go faster?seems like a fail to me
danny: yeah but in brake boosting you AREN'T in the midst of racing... you're "preparing" for your race... unless you magically brake boost in the middle of racing and STILL win![]()

I wanna see yall at the track!
Who?Originally Posted by Gah, It's Too Hard
well mostly thacker... and i wanna see him on street tires.
thats all
I raced diesel nuts on street tires.Originally Posted by Gah, It's Too Hard
and dont believe him when he tells you he cant get traction. just one more lie of his.Originally Posted by ThackerSS
I'll stick to a nice smooth quick shift over Banging("Power Shift") anyday I went through 4 clutches in my taco when I had it, from "power shifting".. quick shift = still on same clutch for 4 years in civic and I don't know how long it was in before I bought it...
<back on topic>
i believe the heel-toe other than downshifting argument was about heel-toeing it on a steep incline so that when you stage the clutch you're not rolling too far back without reving at the clutch too hard.
oh, and the newer drive-by-wire cars, NLS is almost needed for any quick shifting. with my experience, the dbw cars seem to loose more rpm's in a shift because of the data transfer lag. toyotas are very bad about this (x-runner)
this thread forced me to dig up time slips... and count my .605 R/t![]()
I always thought you were supposed to double-clutch when street racing![]()
ah the smell of burnt clutch....
hey i actually tried it in my friends ep3 the other day its not hard at all i got it down now
