Nice vid! Was that Camaro the style with the LT1? I couldn't tell. Or was it a V6? Your Max looks good, sounds good, and is fast. Keep up the good work. Auto love!

Hehe, so close.

Have you driven other auto 5.5 gens? Sounds like your car's shifting pretty slowly.

Nice video. Next time you replace the tranny, make sure there's a shift kit in it. You'll absolutely love the shifts.

But those shifts were terribly slow. I wouldn't spend much time at the track with it slipping that badly.

I would go with something MUCH more performance oriented than a transgo.

Look into either Rob at NRH or Maximum Tuning.

Very nice burnout. Question though, why is everyone starting before you? Is it straight up or bracket racing?

its bracket racing and both were dialed in slower than me, the camaro(white) was dialed at 14.6, and the blue car was dialed at 14.4. and then theres me (one of 3 imports(07g35x, and 02 subaru)) that was dialed at 14.0!

nice win against the camaro dude !! that second race would have been a good one had you won it, lol ! 14.00 dial in and you ran a 14.048, reaction time cost you that one aye ? lol ! still impressive! those front rims and tires rock ! and that canopy is funny, havent seen that before. i wonder if they have a few cold ones, some club sandwiches, and a tv up under it as well ?

killer burnout !!! smoke them up dude !

So close to 13's club..... SOOOOO CLOOOOSE.... next season you'll be in there just make sure that tranny is good, (might as well do 6-speed swap since you've already replaced it twice)

i have definatly givin it the thought....the hard part is finding the donner car, and then finding the shop cheap enough to do the swap, and having the money to do it!!!

man you've got that thing dialed in to be deadly consistent. i agree with most of the people here, get that trans in shape for racing and it'll be awesome for you.

6 speed swap would be nice, but just be aware that it'll make your life much harder for bracket racing (you probably already know that).
