I know auto is faster but I like gears,,,,,so what kind of times are you guys with manual trans running?

My best is in my sig. Usually I'm in the low 11.7's @ 119 +/-.

I get 11.56 @ 119 shifting easier into 3rd gear due to prior carnage. 1.53 60 ft.

Waiting to put a Jerico in this season.

Here in the Netherlands a guy with a roadrunner runs 10.8 with a 4-speed...and the 4-speed is powered by a CAST crank 440...... and he does that for at least 7 years as far as i know

They sure are fun. I really really miss my 5-speed mustang. It ran 12.30s and was an absolute blast to drive. I also really liked the challenge of making it work on street radials. I could only muster 13.20s or so when I got it. Before I got rid of it I was going 12.70s on a regular radial tire with a 1.84 60ft just by doing better foot work .

There is a downside. I had the car for two years and broke everything behind the clutch disc other than the ring and pinion. Even twisted the splines inside the driveshaft yoke!

My best is a 10.30 @131.11.

I was using 1-2 Pro shifted and 3-4 face plated Hemi 4 speed.

It's an absolute blast to drive.

Sticks is fun, don't know that an auto is faster, but I suspect easier to dial in. Running a jerico & thinks its great

Running a liberty 5 speed we ran a best of 9.90 @133 with the old W2 motor. Hope to go 9.40's on motor and in the 8's on the juice with the W8 motor.

12.52@111 in my wifes Challenger. 9-1 360,224@.050 hyd roller,LD340,650 holley,full TTI exhaust,bowl ported stock 360 heads. Has O.E. 4 speed w/.244 1st gear. Needed more 1st gear ratio even w/4.30. Only parts wounded after 100 passes were the stock axles. They didn't break but were twisted 1 full spline.

I've gone 9.85 at 137mph with a stick. SS/AH cars are running 8.40's with Jerico transmissions.

My best time so far is in my signiture below in my gtx with original 4sp box. I am not the best guy behind the wheel rowing a stick and would probably be faster with a automatic. But I like shifting the car manually and would not trade it for a 2 pedal system.

Thanks all I am impressed with those times ,,,, aany suggestions an the drive line of my Challenger? I have a 440 balance and 509 DC cam, stock clutch , Hemi 4 speed , Six Pack drive shaft, 4:10 Dana Track Pack and slicks,,, plans are to build the motor to go faster yet not do any changes from the flywheel back,,,, ya think the gears and rear are up for the hard launches with out breaking?

I would upgrade in some good u joints, driveshaft, and axels. I would also upgrade to a Mcleod street twin clutch.

Mid 9's with a jerico and advanced clutch...Alot of fun for sure!!

i made a few 10.80 passes spining with mine before it broke the rear bearing then took out 4th gear. in defense of the trans it was used, then spent about 15 years in a shed before i got it. im gonna take the parts back to Liberty for faceplating then probably give it another shot sometime this year. its a blast on the street!!

Technically a stick car is usually faster (mph) than an auto. Now as far as which is quicker,.....we can all debate that one, so who knows.

I plan on being in the neighborhood of my auto trans times, when I'm all said and done with my stick conversion. Ran 11.07 at 120 mph as a best with the auto. So far I only ran 3 times down the track with the stick, and ran a 11.9 at 120mph blowing the tires off at the line, missing 3rd gear, and then missing 4th gear, and then running out of fuel through the traps,.....So it should run pretty good when I get things sorted out.

Happy with my 11.48@119 in a fully body 70 Challenger 906 iron head 10.1 dual plane NO ROLL CAGE street car.....Oh ya 18 spline hemi box...I have had to upgrade to a Dana afer 3 8-3/4's

10.86 @ 126.8 with a stock clutch......
