Also this race should be 1/2 mile not the quarter mile so the all wheel drive cars not have any advantage and it to be more about power and pure excelleration.
If it's going to be a manual car then remove all tm and let it go. They are there to keep the auto alive more then a manual style gear box. The stick cars should be half the tm just so they drive as they should. Back in the 90s early 2000s you owned an auto a manual of the same car would smoke your ass. 5.0 4r70w/aode was a 15 second car t5 low 14s mid 13s all day. Now it's pointless to buy a stick the auto can do it all and do it better mostly the perfect ratios and torque multipcation with out the huge drivetrain losses. I roll raced a convertible 6 speed with my a10 and it was embarrassing for him and I gave him the jump to see if could reel him in quick and in two gears pulled in two cars and went around. Probably why I see 6 speed cars selling here for low 50s already in Florida. It's sad GM is doing this to the car as auto is such a beast. If they think the manual can't handle more get rid of it but those of us that have been following cars know a t56 the weaker version of the tr6060 has gone into the 8s now at over 160 mph in purpose built race cars. So I think the right clutch it can handle every bit the lt4 can throw at it. My 1969 camaro was a 4 spd my 1996 lt4 formula firebird was a 6 speed but didn't even consider it on this car which I wanted hyper blue and found a bunch here south of me for mid 50s but all were stick and just wouldn't do it knowing the handicap they have in this car.
Going to Gainesville race way next Saturday evening at sea level air should be decent and in low 70s so hoping to crack a 10.9 in my stock car before I mod anything. If in the area come out.

11.4 still wouldn't be top 5 in this race. The 6th car ran 11.4
