definitely a drivers race. Looks like the 4.77s car could have possibly started in second gear and done better rather than shifting right after it started

cool run

Y'all should do a dig.. I've always been curious to see how well the gears work from a stop compared to stock..

Definitely looked like a shortshift at the start for the AP2 with gears.

Nice vid.

no, since they are both gpw..

but from the looks of it, the geared car started way too high in first.. had to make a shift while the other car still had more gear left and was able to crack that wide open..

or maybe his hardtop made him slower..

Yeah, 4.77 wasn't in the right gear at the right speed lol. I ran a buddy of mine who had 4.77's, 2nd gear roll and he stayed with me till the top of 3rd when I started pulling away from him.

Good kill
