[QUOTE="lnewlf, post: 921705, member: 9707"] This is a great intellectual approach to the subject and in my limited experience spot on. Most quarter miles are won or lost in the hole shot. As with the FJR too tall gearing makes the launch harder-high rpm must be used and the clutch modulated just right to avoid bogging or wheelspin- and there is always the fear of turning into a human flyswatter. Once she's hooked up a close ratio tranny is needed to stay on top of the power curve and use all the gears thru the traps. Almost never does agood quarter mile anything make a good daily driver. My old 340 Duster which was a decent car to drive in stock trim and would run low 14's was a pain to drive by the time it would run high 11's. [/QUOTE]
