He sure knows how to build a strong transmission. Transgo kit makes a world of difference.

using an Auto for an auto x, intresting... do you leave it in 2nd?

[Miker]

Nope; I shift 1/2. I throw it into 1st at any speed below 30mph.

While in 1st you can bounce off the revlimitter for ever. In 2nd you won't kick down to 1st or upshift to 3rd.

[BIRDMAN]

Yeah because autoxes really test one's transmission..

Says the guy with a modified C5z who has never gotten within more then 2 and a half seconds me at an autox. If you actually drove fast you might start breaking stuff.

2-1 downshifts at 30mph are not easy on a transmissions; it hits so hard it will lock up the rear tires sometimes.

As in manual valve body

As in manual valve body

Nope; stock valve body. What I described is stock function for a GTO.

1 is 1st only, 2 is 2nd only, 3 is drive but if you hit rev limiter you will go into 4th, D is overdrive.

Once I get rid of the stock POS shifter I'll do a the manual version of the transgo kit.

Gerald is good! You told birdman

[GreebeanZ28]

I'd think first is nothing but wheelspin on an autocross course. Spinnin' aint winning'.

Actually I have. Myrtle Beach. Not to mention you have way more experience than me and dedicated tires. And let's keep it civil Miker, I really don't want to embarass you in front of your friends.

Why in the world would you be down shifting to 1st on autox anyways?? I stay in second after I get into it in the beginning.

Gerald is good! You told birdman

"Birdman is a douchenozzle" Oh damn, that FB post must have really got you hot and bothered. I figured you had thicker skin than that and could tell I was just messing with you after what could have been taken as a condescending remark from you. Let me know if you want to go down this road, I don't care. But the fact is prior to now I had nothin against you and nor meant you any trouble.

I'd think first is nothing but wheelspin on an autocross course. Spinnin' aint winning'.

Yeah for our cars that's the case. Even second spins at times if not careful. Not sure why he's downshifting to 1st but oh well, it works for him.

[BigdaddyDupree]

erryone is a douchenozzle. dont take it personal that miker said he can outbrake you

I can put a good bit of power down in 1st gear.

Grudge autoxcrossing = you have to give him something. You are running an auto vs his 6 speed...:poke:

Oh yeah, you forgot that you are on stickier tires and how mine are worn street tires. And when I said "Actually I have" I was including my fun runs, where I consistently knock off 2-3 seconds off of my best time during the normal runs. But since I can't "prove" that, they don't count, right? Actually, I may still have some slips lying around..

[LXtasy]

Shits about to get real up in here. Auto-x racecar vs Auto-x streetcar grudge battle

We are both on street tires and daily drive our cars.

[ForceFed4g63]

Why would your fun runs be faster than the actual competition?

[bambooi]

Fun runs are after competition runs. So he already has been around the track 2/3 times or more.

Somebody's gettin emotional

What kinda street tires are you guys on?

[Miker]

What kinda street tires are you guys on?

Just remembered...
5th event I was in a Lotus Elise.
6th event I was in Cobraetti's Mustang on tires that might as well be round bricks. I do love that motor tho.

I run Bridgestone RE-11s. Birdman is on Vredestein Sessanta's if I remember correctly; I could be wrong tho. He runs way wider tires then I do tho; I'm still on a 8in rim.

Your car could easily win F-stock if you got some good tires.

Too much gas too soon is so much fun tho. I had the championship locked down 2 events ago so I'm just out having fun.

[BIRDMAN]

This is the most attention that autox has gotten on this forum in a long while...lol

Oh and I do seem to recall that Miker was trying to sell his Hoat a month and a half ago in hopes of buying a C5Z.

Trying to find a buyer for the GTO/Monaro so I can make her [C5Z that a guy was selling on a forum] mine.

[Miker]

I'd love to have a C5z; I've never insulted your car. I've been saying you are slow, not that you car is slow.

Earlier in the year I drove a national championship winning car.

No rent = tons of money to spend on the car and traveling.

[RoadconeTuning]

I say you guys have a drift battle.

We thought someone put some Formula D stickers on the cobalt the first time i went up ceasars head with the new rear bar... its interesting going into a turn like you always have but instead of it just begining to push, you are turned the left and looking out the drivers window thru a right lol

[jmd]

Lol well we all gotta start somewhere. Not all of us are single and live at home with mom and dad.

how does this make you drive slower. why would you bring up his home life is this thread?

[1SMKN99]

how does this make you drive slower. why would you bring up his home life is this thread?

cause he's bein a douche. i like livin at home and gettin to spend all my monies on my car/guns/trips etc.

[BIRDMAN]

Has no impact on my driving, true. I said it partially cause it made me feel better (being an ass) and more so bc it means he has more money to spend on car stuff, attend more races, and get more experience. So in a comparative sense.

[jmd]

how is that being a douche? birdman brought it up because he was losing the discussion. it should have never been brought up and who really cares.

No I said it to give reason as to why he has more experience and a more setup car etc. But you are right, I could have simply said that instead of pointing out the personal reasons for it.

I will acquiesce to your brotherly defense of injustice towards Miker lol

[jmd]

No you didn't. He was calling birdman a douche.

oh, shit. i fucked up. never mind. lol
