The problem was at the end of the run, yes I know wind can impact the entire run, the part I have tried desperately to make clear is the car goes flat shifting into the last gear to cross the 1/4 each time, the wind is not the same for each run. Feeling acceleration nearly shut down is...

Lethal and w3rkn, Did either of you even read what I posted?? 2 other 2018's running within 1 mph of their normal. I FELT THE CAR GO FLAT instantly as it shifted into the last gear before the 1/4. That wasn't wind, wind isn't the same for 4 runs straight either. No, I don't need to be...

I found it. I'm hoping to find somebody who is adept at reading timeslips and understands what I see in them which corresponds with what I felt in the car.

I created an account there, it would be interesting to get opinions from the "other" side. Tomorrow I'm going to find a backroad and do a full 1/4 mile run timed by the car and if possible a video pointed to the gauges to show it if it does it again. I don't own a GoPro or anything like...

It's AWESOME for the 1/4 mile, check out Youtube videos of a bunch of A10 18's running low 11's and even 10's. My problem is an apparent cut in power, it's not a problem with ratios or gears.

Is Ford going to take care of this for you?

Can somebody post the link to the thread on the Camaro forum?

Can't argue but it's all I can do for now, one thing I loved about my 85 LX 5.0 was how easy it was to work on, literally easy.

Agreed, I really wasn't concerned with the elapsed time, it's how the car behaved after the 1000ft mark, like it couldn't get past 114 mph, it just stayed there. :shrug: I'm going to call a couple of places (dealers) on Monday to discuss the problem and discuss logging with Lund or somebody...

Agreed, when I first ran into problem with the car sticking at 7800rpm I talked to them, (the dealer I bought from) it was like talking to guys in their first year of mechanics school, they had no clue, I should NOT know more about the car than the supposed "experts". If anybody know of a...

Wow, well what can ya do. There was a ZL1 there not exactly impressing anybody so they can discuss that as well.

I know right! :lol:

Rear Shot at GLD I just received my "Loki GT" plates right before heading to GLD. :headbang:

Maybe I didn't explain properly, the car runs like a scalded dog until the last gear where it literally falls on it's face. I've raced into headwinds before so I know the car could have gone faster with less wind however, let me say this clearly, the car falls flat on it's face, it goes from...

I took the car to Great Lakes Dragaway to test drag mode and see if I could match or surpass my previous runs. Temp was 57f, DA was 1480ft, there was a 15 to 25mph headwind. 1st pass, Drag Mode, 1800rpm launch 2.2 60ft, the car banged gears HARD until I got past the 1000ft mark, then it...

Understood, I couldn't imagine it being a problem considering the volume of them sold. ROUSH is on the short list for my next upgrade, I like the fact it won't interfere with my warranty if I find a good dealer that can do the install, sadly I don't see the one I bought the car from as one I...

Sounds good to me, I'm not looking for insane numbers, a nice mid 10 1/4 and I'll be smiling.

Marcus, can you delve into the comment about the inlet being very small because of the lower hood. I find it hard to believe you could go with a bigger blower if it couldn't take in enough air.

When I turn TC off the car blows the tires away, if there is more to do to turn it off I'm unaware of it? Plus I doubt I'm spinning in 3rd or 4th. I did a few blasts today and it did fine. Boggles the mind. I talked to service at my dealer and the guys response was "You know there is a...

Last night on the way home from a local cruise night I took a side road that is rarely used and decided to see how the car does in drag mode. On On 5/13 it hung at 7800rpm as posted. Last night, in drag mode with TC off it took off great, actually had decent traction but the 1st to 2nd shift...
