BUT, I think since the gearbox is set up for SCCA racing and not drag racing I find it QUITE impressive.
Actually it was with stock gears, trans and drag radials.
I think the gearbox actually helps it for what it does and probably the fact that it weighs <2600lbs with driver. He doesn't have to use a clutch, can shift faster then an automatic and can ride out first gear to 90mph, it's like having a manual power glide with more gears. The trans ends up being to his advantage then an arguement against it, IMO.
