We have done quite a bit of work to the car inclusive of all the legal and accepted chassis mods, and have it right at weight, with a beefed up rear, good axles and a gear we think is right for now. I know a 5 speed car is at a disadvantage over the automatics but this is what I have to work with and I LOVE driving the 5 speed.

The only people that will tell you that a stick is a disadvantage are people that race automatics or haven't raced stickshifts in many many years. The equipment in terms of clutches and transmission choices are excellent! A car can be set up to run rounds without having to dive into the bellhousing either. There are some considerations when building a stick car, especially with drivetrain, but as far as driving and winning, they are competitive and way more fun! There is not a lot of money to be had racing so you damn better have fun! LOL. Welcome!
