also why add motor mounts and tranny mounts if you are trying to take us from a roll ..spend that money on more power mods they will be more effective

maybe slightly ..but they would be better mods from a dig ... for winning in a roll race the money would be better spent ...

right but thats compairing drivers not cars... you have to assume the drivers are going to be eaqual ...
he could easily run into tofu and it will be like sending a lamb to the slaughter ..

sorry bro I don't mean to dog on you but I don't think floor mats don't weigh that much.

but the idea would be to take out everything ...every little bit counts .... take out everything you have in the glovebox as well ...a pound here and there can make the difference

I thinks it's funny how some people will strip their entire car and put on slicks/take out headlights etc. to run at the track. I do realize this helps but I like to know what my car is running bone stock while on the street. You can always brag you ran a 13 blah blah blah but when on the street....you'r only going to run mid to high 14's......sorry guys, just a rant...this wasn't aimed towards anyone

Shifter and mounts unnecessary. The mounts in it are amazing at keeping engine vibration to a minimum. Everything else is good though. Shifter is something I would do but after all the others for sure

But it wasn't C&D, M/T (they did the test of the 4 door SS 5 speed)or Road and Track.
