I don't think I suggested this car was a drag racer. I would not drag race a car with a full interior in street trim and no roll bar, but to each his own.

You are forgetting there is now a clutch. There's plenty of opportunity for user induced slip when accelerating.

The transmission shifts firmly and smoothly. It has NEVER had any issue whatsoever.

Come to think of it, maybe I would race a car like this.

No, this one has not been raced (though it has been hard street driven).
