ok, but watch that vid, and tell me where my opinion is wrong. there wasnt 1 clean run, thats all i said. youve seen him do good before, im guessing at different tracks? but at this/these particular one, i believe it to be driver error/ car not setup for the track, its not dissing him, which is why im confused at the hostility, let it be, it was a comment on a random video, i didnt talk dirty about your mother, let it go, now rethink what i said, it makes sense

i always had respect for this man before i got in to dsm's.
there is no error there my friend, thats just him trying to tame the beast that he builted from day one. it the track..... watch the video close

 

true 4cyl (dsm) power right there. rep for the thread maker.

 

damn,amazing car

 

did anyone ever think that those might have been shake down runs the he was tuning off of???

 

you beat me to it

 

regardless of what accidentally happened, that car is a monster! f-ing awesome! and did you see that little FB rx7 rocket at the end? that little bitch was insane too! good video.

 

theres an rx-7 like that one that goes to bradenton and he runs high 8's,low 9's and he always lets off at around the 1000' ft mark

 

From the clip provided it looked like he was the only person having issues with traction and he was going against 2wd, not awd. Now I dont know a whole lot about AWD handling, but to me it seems like his car is too bouncy. I notice when his back end bounces he looses traction and almost hits the wall. So in my opinion the suspension is not set up for that kind of power.

Edit* But I agree. Shep doesn't make mistakes. I wouldn't consider a 3-2 gear miss-shift a mistake... Hehe just playing with you guys, but heres the link anyways.
