Neat vid Evan. I always wanted to try something like that in my car. I might be afraid what I see with the shift light though. :) Not to mention where I would mount it!

Awesome! Makes me wish I had a 5-speed. I think I need to petition NHRA.

Dear NHRA,
Seeing that you gave all the 2-speed auto trans racers an extra gear, I feel the same should apply to the 4-speed stick racers. You already gave 4-speed acceptance to 3-speed (manual) only vehicles so to be fair, any car can ad one extra forward gear. :rolleyes:

Evan, what is your launch and shift RPM on this video?
I can also tell your Advanced Clutch is dialed in perfectly, at least from my audible perspective. Engine pulling down on launch and shifts is barely detectable; if at all.
Yes, you definetly have that clutch dialed in! :)

All,

Thanks for the positive feedback and I'm glad everyone likes the video. In addition to my role as editor of MM&FF, I also serve as a senior editor on Super Chevy and we have a full feature on Aubrey's '62 coming up soon. This is a very cool and unique Stocker.

Evan

Evan -- Pretty cool stuff -- you make it look easy enough that I might want to put the clutch pedal back into my GTO and start rowing a 6 speeder . On second thought I think I'll leave the stick stuff to you "young" fellas...........makes me remember the "good ole days" .

Put the slicks on the rear of your car and report back to us. I guarantee if you launch hard enough you'll see clouds. lol
