Bobbeh Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 No marcos was 6 speed before he went 2 gear auto. Im watching the video I mentioned earlier, sounds like hes on a TH400 this time doing an 883. He was deffo in the low 9's on his 6 speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 No, it was built Toyota auto. It is now TH400, which is a 3sp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I thought hes currently on a 2 speed powerglide, watch that 8.45 vid you can barely make out one change. Shit you're right. An older vid hes got the auto box.. hmm He WAS 6 speed at on point in time right? Did he go the following route 6sp -> built Auto -> TH400/PG?

MONKEYmark Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Cant remember off hand, but he has beaten it by a bit anyways, anything less than a 10sec quarter is fast, and tenth of seconds are a BIG difference when you are down this low in timeslips. So he smashed it good and proper. not smashing the record, still amazing to see a 9 second car in action 9.63206 @ 148.14mph 60ft 1.605 keith cowie 9.684 @ 144.16 mph Sumo gtr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
