15 secs is no big whoop. And if he drags, why does he still have the governor??? If you drive an Isuzu car, you can run 10's on a stock bottom end, saving you major $$$.

Synchroless gears rock for racing, they arent used in production cars cuz they wear out faster.

Dragging is pretty pointless. I'm not a fan. AutoX/time trailing/hillclimbs is a much better measure of car and driver.

Hate to say it but Miatas will outhandle just about anything, esp. with suspension mods. They might be girley, but are fucking fun to drive.

you cannot run 10's in a izuzu. and double clutching is not letting the revs go down it is hitting the clutch about 1000 before redline pushing the tach up to redline and shifting up, it is horrible for your clutch and gearbox and just shifts faster. and what any described is called 'granny shifting'

Wow, you are a complete and utter retard. Yes, you can run 10's in the Isuzu Impulse, which I assume that youthinasia is talking about since we had a sorta argument about it before, I did research, its an amazing little car. Its fast as fuck. And double clutching is EXACTLY how I described it. Go watch some more Fast and the Furious retard.

yeah, andy is right. it originally came from driving 18 wheelers where they have to let the engine slow way down before letting it grab another gear. it just adds life on to the transmission, and also, half the shit in fast and the furious is bullshit. he just says random shit to sound smart, that isn't even relavent. like for example why in the sam hell would you floor pan fall out becaus of 'engine oveload' or something like that, that it said on his little computer

you can run 10's in anything, if you have the money. Give me $20k and I'll build a 10sec Yugo.
