The mods don't match the times... that thing has an automatic transmission!

Amazing work, and excellent driving.

If the car is fast enough an automatic can be better for dragging.

an auto is better for drag with turbo because you can build boost without a problem by holding the brake and gas.

That's what "heel and toe" technique is for with manuals, you put your toe on the gas and your heel on the brake; the other foot is on the clutch, of course.

easy streets car was built by TRP, and holds its own considering it ran a 9.6 on street tires, with full exhaust and full interior. I like trps' subaru brumby the best. It ran a 10.41@ 138

heel toe is for downshifting when your double clutching mainly.
heel toe does not have anything to do with dragracing. the purpose of having your foot on the brake and your other foot on the gas is to build boost in an automatic, and to build boost you need resistance, thats why when you bring your car up to 5 grand and keep it there your not boosting but when your reving it there is boost until it stops reving. the only way to build boost on a launch in a manual tranny is to rev it purfectly when the light turns green.
