![The Starting Shift: Watching This Guy Powershift A ZF-6 Speed Equipped Duramax Into The 12s At The Strip Is Really, Really Awesome](http://ndgroadrunners.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/the-starting-shift-watching-this-guy-powershift-a-zf-6-speed-equipped-duramax-into-the-12s-at-the-strip-is-really-really-awesome.jpg)
Those of you who have driven manual transmission trucks probably know that they’re not the quickest-shifting things in the world. There are some mutant drivers who can shift anything though, like this dude, who’s gone into the 12.60’s in a ZF6 manual transmission Duramax. After a second gear launch, he rows through the gears like a madman until 5th, and even shifts the transfer case out of 4wd (look close or you’ll miss it) during the pass! If you think you’re a badass for being able to shift your Pro-shifted T5 or clutchless Jerico or Lenco well, step up to the plate, and see if you can do this in a diesel.
Perhaps the most incredible fact of all, is that the truck is very lightly modified, with just a tune, intake, exhaust, and clutch, dropping it from high 15’s, to mid 12’s! We’re willing to bet more than a few musclecars have felt the sting of this mild-looking Duramax-powered Chevy.
