the whole reason for a car being "manual" or running a "manual" time is cus u loose boost and time whilst changing gears..
why is the manual record like 10.4 or something when the auto is something in the 8s?
even if this machine ran an 8, it would prove my point that its not manual, and its more like an auto. and, more importantly, would it take out the fastest vlt manual card???
something to think about...

Sorry i will re word what i said.
THIS CAR has not yet made boost on the line, so i class it as a manual. He rev's it up and drops it like any other manual, i've been on the tree when the thing has raced on three seperate wednesday nights now.

If its running a G Force GF-5R like stone racing said.... that there is a manual transmission people.... A lenco or bruno may be debatable as it runs planetary gears like an auto..
This G-force runs straight cuts with a Input, primary reduction, main shaft and cluster arrangement... just like an MX-7 and any other manual trans..... you cant argue with cold hard facts.... just because it doesn't have a Syncromesh engagement doesn't make it an AUTO.

ANDRA Classes the clutchless boxes as manuals in the rule book.
Though you could not put a clutchless box in the same category as the boxes being used in the the 10 sec VL's, manual technically yes, but is still apples and oranges.

i think we should change the rules for our own little records to be more clearer so there is no confusion. what alot of the guys are saying is correct gforce are manual boxes they dont have a convertor to go through etc etc etc. for our records make it so that manuals have to retain h pattern and clutch and if u want to be anal about things must retain synchros hows that sound 2 you guys?

I beg to differ.... at the end of the day its a manual transmission.
Then everyone would be gettin in these arguments of "its the fastest untubbed, Manual transmission H pattern, factory red calais with grey trim etc etc etc bullsh*t arguments.... "
I dont see the big deal? if the owner has the money to invest in a good transmission and 90% of the world dont too bad thats racing.. get with the times or get left behind

It will just be the same as RB26s etc... i mean when UD LOSE was the fastest manual VLCT not many people really accepted it because it wasn't an RB30.. so it was 'technically' the fastest manual vlct in the land however in reality people knew what was what (not taking anything away from Shane or UD LOSE, just using it as an example).
What i'm saying is this car will take the record technically, but 2FREAK don't be worried, people won't confuse it with cars that still use 'traditional' type manual gearboxes.

LOL I have a big red dot on my arm and the skin's all shiny. But it was worth it hahaha.

Did 14.4 @ 94mph, 2.1 60ft and 0.091 reaction time.
