I'll keep this short and sweet.

Red light.
My camaro. His Fox mustang.
Revs n' growls.
Green light. Clutch dump.
Tires begging for mercy.
2nd gear power shift.
Rpms climbing.
3rd gear gets a tire squeal.
3 cars ahead.
4th gear. He's four behind.
He gives up.
Another win for the 'maro.
Nuff said.

 

Nice kill

 

I like the short and sweet approach sometimes

I hope you have money set aside to replace that T-5 soon with that kind of driving

 

Nice!

 

Story's missing someting.... needs more cow-bell, gotta have more cow-bell.

 

Good Kill.

Got any pics of your engine? I want to see that intake and water pump. Is your Auburn posi new or did you get it out of a newer model camaro? Also is that a flat tappet hyd cam?

 

The auburn I bought new along with the gears. The cam is the flat tappet version. I'm happy with it. Runs hard, idles fine, produces just enough vacuum for the brakes. This is the only pic I've got of the engine bay. You probably can't see the water pump with the fan shroud in the way. Actually, you can't see much of anything. LOL

 

sweet ride and kill dude...

 

For all thats done to your car, makes me think the Mustang had a few solid bolt ons...anyways good kill!

 

Poor mustang doesn't know how lucky he was..........just think how bad it would have been after the nitrous is on.

 

1)Clutch dump is bad for acceleration
2)It's even worse for that T5
3)Atleast you killed a pony in the process

 

Not really. Depends where you do it. I didn't dump it at 5 grand if that's what your thinking. 2500 - 3000 usually does the trick.

True, the T5 has been rebuilt already, but hey, what's the point of driving a camaro if you're not going to have a little fun once in a while.

 

got to toss you a thumbs up

 

I was doing 4500-5000 clutch dumps on BFG DR's at the track last weekend HOOKING HARD out of the ohle and my T-5 AND torque boxes somehow still lived through it all. My lcutch is a dual friction lcutch and my rearend is prety tight still...and the T5 has 228k miles on it too with regular ATF in it .....its gonna be my "spare" tranny because my spare is getting a fresh rebuild with nice new strong internals...G-force style

 

How would dropping the clutch not be good for acceleration?

 

Its not good for the fragile T-5's....provided you have traction, clutch udmps always are good for acceleration

 

What makes the T-5 fragile? I have dumped the cultch on mine countless times and everything BUT the T-5 has broken and been replaced.
I have even done a few reverse drops and let the tires pretty much melt off and the T-5 still feels and shifts great

 

TPI Torque + Street tires + Dropping the clutch = real bad wheelspin..

Now, if he had good tires that would hook with it and didn't care about nuking his trans/rearend.. have at it.

 

No tpi torque here my man. Just pure 4 barrel sbc mayhem.

 

Put some power behind that thing and some sticky Tires....you'll see why the t-5 is so damn fragile. I know guys slapping slicks/DR's on stock 5.0 Fox bodies and blowing the t-5 up....I also know mine has 228k miles and has taken quite a beating this year alone with my DR's.

Its a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.

 

It's funny you say that, because I have seen the occasional guy running slicks on a T-5, and everytime I'm just

But there are a few freak T-5's out there.

 

everyone always badmouths the T-5. I personally know two T-5s being regularly abused and they're fine. One is behind a 300hp 355 that gets powershifted daily, the other is behind a 600hp 412 that ran an 11.1@129 on slicks with aq 1.7. Both are bone stock.

 

That's what I thought. Spinning the tires isn't good for acceleration. Clutch dumping has nothing to do with it.

 

Yeah by all rights mine should have shattered to a million pieces but it holds up to everything I dish out.

Like my dad once told me its doesnt matter how strong a tranny is they ALL break under abuse no matter what.

 

I'm willing to take the risk of destroying my tranny if it means putting another mustang in its place. Knaw'm'sain?
