Holy shit, I just realized something...
is this your daily driver?
Dude, you can't afford a windshield but you're making 1/4 runs on an auto transmission that's known to self destruct under normal driving circumstances? Do you have any idea what a new one, or a rebuild would cost?
I'm baffled, but I've also just never been one to only live for today...

if the car is paid off, I would hold onto it.
if it isnt, get rid of it!! well, probably cant sell it cuz it looks like the terminator or robocop
my car is paid off and I'd likely not get rid of it for another 5-6 years...and even then, if its still treating me well. id still keep it

Well, if you use it for autocross or track only, I figured that a 6MT would just add to the fun factor.
Why don't you just sit tight until you get the funds back together, man? Why go a completely different direction?
We're super lucky in Florida...insurance will replace one windshield a year for free...only thing you pay for is if
they can't reuse the glass framing or maybe a gasket.

What number do you think is unbeatable? You seem defensive...there was a little fun in there, but nobody was trying to ridicule you so I'm sorry if it came off that way. I just think it took big balls to ask people to fund your project when you're not even able to do that. That's all.
And ps, hate to break it to you, but money buys a LOT of things...meaning someone with more expendable income and similar drive could easily buy lighter bolts and parts and throw more money at the car JUST to be this record you're after if they so desired.
Just food for thought...

It's still not good enough and I'm not satisfied. 13.8 is still a very average time to me. I haven't reached the theoretical limits of my gearing. With a dead hook off the line I see a 13.68 @ 101-102 very possible with perfect track prep.

Why obsess so much over a number? My 13.70's would be 13.40's-13.50's with a decent 60', but I don't really care. It's much more fun beating unsuspecting cars on the street anyway.

Damn brother,
I mean this sincerely...find yourself, pick up some hobbies,
preferably free ones like mountain bike or painting or something.
You don't want your world falling apart when your car stops working.
I mean it...you ever feel like asshole, feel free to PM me. Life can be
fucking awesome.
