No lift shift to 4th and I'm thinking I may pull him a bit until the top of 4th. With the big jump from 4th to 5th in the SS m6, if we don't run out of road, he may catch me. Either way, it should be close

i can see the camaro being slow off the hit and never being able to recover. you have to consider the gt500 achieved those trap speeds in basically the same manner - not being able to put the power down. m6 cars are still hard to beat from a roll if you can drive. that doesn't simply mean just a no-lift shift, it means a fast and clean shift. i've seen a lot of very slow no lift shifts.
