Quote: Not to throw salt in your wounds. But from my experience dragging a newer stick shift car & I hardly ever drive a stick. It TAKES alot to get the shifting right. When we were tuning my brothers 05 Stang & traveling around the Fun Ferd events It took me quite awhile to get the shifting down as good as the other guy driving. That EQUATED to almost a second!!!!!!!!!! Also if you didn't speed shift it forget about a good ET.

Thats why I asked if he had traction control on or off (still waiting for an answer). If its on. every time you shift and screech the tires, it pulls all kinds of timing and uses the brakes to control wheel speed. That will kill your et and mph.
