I was rather surprised by how well my car ran (though only a tad disappointed in my own skill- I was about where I expected to be). First run, I was way slow off the line, missed 2 shifts, and managed a 15.5. Second run was still slow out of the gate, but I shifted cleanly and managed a 15.4. So, for eliminations, I dialed it at 15.3, because I figured that was being a bit conservative still. Nope. Even with a decrepit 2.01 60 foot time, I managed a 15.27@87. I am convinced that my RS, with all of headers, catback, and intake for mods, can run 14.9@90 with a 1.8 60 foot time.

As for getting a 1.8 60 foot with an RS, I have yet to see that happen.

That's an awful lot of drivetrain abuse. I've been lucky so far but I think that too much drag racing will spell doom (or d00m) for my tranny and clutch. I would be wise to limit my ¼-mile passes down the drag strip.
Okay, I'll go.

I figure I oughtta do it while I can. Since I'm replacing my gearbox anyway, the worst that can happen is I can't sell it later. Drat. Besides, I need to put that upgraded clutch to good use while I can. I may end up going back to OEM on the 6 speed.
