Ernie - Thats the secret reason pro drag racers use glides. That and you only shift once, you loose time slightly each time you shift, esp with a stick. i.e. - consistancy = more rounds you run in ET drag racing. The input shaft on my Coan glide could be spinned by my fingers only. Took a wrench to turn the 400. Don't take much to turn a glide, maybe only 8 or 10 ponys. If your engine makes between 300 and 400 horsepower that drag/resistance number is significant. BTW, most 5 or 6 sp. stick numbers match the glide numbers with respect to what it takes to turn them. Glides on the street are boring, sticksare much more fun.
