4.77 Gears...incredible
Ill be taking my s2k to the drag strip to run a 1320 soon. Well, April. I didnt run when it was without the gears, but that is my only performance mod at the moment besides exhaust. Although, by April I will have more parts on the car.

all of these questions i.e. quarter mile time (Italian Buckwheat said he was getting in 13s..I think), differences between 4.77 and 4.57, etc have all been answered in previous threads. This topic has been debated for a while now.
