Just make sure to get video.

would be nice to get some in-cab of fathack:burnout:

Ahh yeah I'm about 2000 da and 4800lbs
I hate speed shifting Trainman-style, but it would be interesting to see if I am any faster doing it that way. That is, unless anyone else is available to go try it real quick.........
**EDIT**
You should run try it no-lifting, so I can compare times.

That run was VERY hard to measure.... Let me try it again before I post results

Why so hard?
The soundwave is very flat. I can see the shifter banging the gears and your keys clanging, but its difficult to see RPM peaks and valleys. I think you may be very slightly quicker, no lifting. But I would want to spend more time on before I was certain. Those 3 shifts average .230. The difference in shifts 2-3 and 3-4, between the two runs, is literally thousandths of a second (2-3 is .008 & 3-4 is .002).
I will say that overall, theoretically, and in-my-opinion-only, you could pick up as much as 2 tenths in the 1/4, no lifting. This is based on the shape of your two curves in comparison to one another. I actually think your driveline/suspension moves that much less when you no lift.

Wonder why the sound is screwed up? And to throw another curve ball at it I wonder how fast a modern automatic would compare?
It wasn't that the sound was screwed up, just the sound that was there blended onto a hard to decipher shape. I've been wondering the same thing about the shift time of an automatic. I'm sure that info is out there somewhere, I just need to have some time to look.

Wife is home I could ummmm you know test out the 300.....just sayin
I will take some more in car video next time with the console up and maybe a shifter upgrade and we can see what kind of improvement that nets.

I'm in. Do it.
oh its done been did

.09 seconds per shift. We are really pushing the limits of what Garageband can accurately measure. Theoretically, her SRT8 spends 4 tenths less time shifting through a 1/4 than your truck does.
I think it's really neat that you two took your cars on vacation together to Mexico

Wow that's insane, but another thing that helps hers spend less time shifting is that it doesn't shift as many times too. You may have just sealed the deal for me on the switch to a 727(with hair dryers feeding the engine
)Not on vacation I just live that close to Mexico
