Yeah as of now I'm VERY biased toward the top end. I guess that's what 2.82s do to ya. That's why I do better from a roll cause I can sit at the top of first and plow through the gears. I think the roll race showed my power better. Now I need to get that chally rear end swap and throw some slicks on her and I'll be a lot better off from digs. I'm hoping they come out with 3.55s soon cause I think 3.73's would just make 1st and 2nd pointless.

Reason: spelling
ummm..
if you get the chally rear rend you can choose: 3.06, 3.73, 3.92
3.73 and 3.92 are WAAAAY too much gear for a 5 speed car in my opinion.
i picked up the 229mm Getrag(chally) 3.06 and its a dream, power you can feel from the gear, and LSD which really helps traction by getting both wheels together too.
they wont have a 3.55 for that rear end any time soon, and id rather have a 3.23 instead anyway. infact something more like a 3.19 is THE GEAR for these cars if you ask me. between tire sizes and transmission gear, the 3.19 lets you size up tires perfectly for the 1/4 mile
to do a 3.55 you have to use a stock 210 or 215mm rear end and swap the ring and pinion with a richmond gear set.... but you still dont have an LSD

Huh? Those gears don't help you from a roll, unless you plan on going over 165 MPH, where a shorter geared vehicle will run out of gear and be physically limited by revs. Otherwise, the numerically higher rear gear will nearly always be faster (double so from a roll, since traction will not be an issue) since it trades top speed for torque multiplication.
Additionally, you need to pull your head out of the sand. You claim to beat him out by a car (video shows barely a fender), fair enough, then you go on to claim you "slaughtered him by 15 or 20 cars" and leave out that he misses a gear. That roll race din't show ANYTHING, since the gto driver obviously just threw in the towel after missing the gear.
I've got BOTH, and your smoking crack if you think that race would have been in any way susstantially different from the dig race.
Not exactly the most truthful race description I've ever heard. I'm with Grim on this one here - tell it like it was, not how you want it to be. Kaleb needs to learn how to drive better, for sure.

Whatever I won. You guys are still going to be dbags that's fine. And he started in first, hit second, and then in the end you see him flash his lights. That's when he "missed 3rd" Like I said, I told him I'd race again and he didn't want to. But keep on being asses I'm done with this ****ing forum. I apologized explained myself, and shown you a video. At the end of the first race we were still going and I got him by 1/2 to a car. Second race I clearly pull on him easy and he doesn't miss third till he flashes his lights. Watch it again. To those of you that aren't dbags on here I hope you enjoy your cars as much as I do. For the rest of you, go **** yourselves. Peace.
