I didn't run because my blinker fluid has yet to be dyno tuned.

Craig....when my shat was starting to let out, I could get a 1.7 60ft, but that was were it ended...if you find video from the track day I last went to you can hear the faulker just dropping and throwing revs trying to catch up with its self....clutches pwn me...and I consider myself to be a pretty good foot infront of a gas pedal and clutch.

Yep, with it slipping and rattling, I did not want to risk it.

RPMs rise real quick then it bogs back down a little.. def appears clutch to my inferior newbie mustangness.
I wouldn't challenge you to a shift off in a RHD car, I know my place. Been beating on Mustangs since 1994. While I have no idea how many miles any of the cars in question have, I will give you a ride in a 29K 4.6 DOHC Mustang that sees quite a bit of agressive driving that will bark 4th with me behind the wheel. Original clutch, flywheel, tranny. While nothing can be as good as a Subaru and your intimate knowledge of them/how to drive them, I can getterdun. Ask anyone who has ridden in any of my Mustangs before. Lemme know when you can shift that t-45 without lifting off the gas or better yet, without the clutch.

This makes me want to go to a dealership just to scare a salesman.

Sorry about the deviation, didn't want to turn this into a pissing war. I'm sure Vince is getting a kick out of how south this thread has turned.

How do you do that? I can clutchlessly shift during normal driving, but I've tried it during hard acceleration and failed, and no-lift powershifting without a clutch was a one-time mess that ground the gears so hard I didn't dare do it again (at least it was just my old honda and not my current car). Worse, it ground gears and didn't go in! I don't know that it would save me any time, but I'm curious as to how you do it.
