You meant to say your learning curve is just like a voltage spike. Yes I see.
You have no clue as to what the power curve is like. You guys and your comments. Regardless of the MPH or the power curve the car still ran an 8 sec 1/4 mile thru a >stock 6 speed<. And if you dont know about the getrag 6 speed it does not power shift. So he has to clutch everyshift. Not to mention the Clutch slipped in 2nd gear. Enjoy the video for what its worth and stop the hating

Sorry to get you all ruffled up, but it's the truth. That car should be a lot quicker with the mile per hour he's putting up.

#1: Obviously spinning off the line
#2: slipping clutch on 2nd
Everyone knows this car has more potential and its just only going to get faster... you guys find anything and everything to bitch about here on TR which is why sometimes its not even worth posting up quality videos such as this one.

You didn't ruffle my feathers at all. Actually yours seemed more ruffle than mine with your original comment. But If you want to look at it from a mph standpoint yes an automatic car should have a lower ET. But when your dealing with manuals its a diffrent ball game at those power levels.

Hey you posted this thread like we were supposed to be impressed or something. The car is slow for the power it makes therefore we are not impressed. And 8's with a manual tranny? So? Again not impressed. Come back when the car is running 7.9's with the same power and I'll be impressed. You're not gonna impress any Ford guys thats for sure, 1250 hp = high 7's in our world. I understand that you feel it's impressive that that car is doing that with a stock 6 speed tranny but it really does nothing for the rest of us, we see the power it's making and just can't get over how slow it is.
