Thursday afternoon I got my car back from the shop after installing 4.30 gears. I had stock gears in my 96 Mustang GT 5 speed. I'm not sure what stock gears are for this year, but they suck!
Friday night I was taking a joy ride around town getting use to the new gears. I was at a red light turning left and a 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT pulls up next to me. My friend with me said, "Better watch out that's a new Eclipse GT, they have balls". I wasn't sure about that. The light turned green and the girl driving took off a little hard. After the turn I was in 2nd gear and pulled up next to her going about 20mph and we both got on it hard. That bitch was right next to me till about 60 mph then I started pulling on her. A few miles down the road we caught another light. She started power braking it and we started laughing. We said "Hell yeah!". The light turned green and pow! I dumped the clutch and with my 315 tires I hooked pretty good. I hit second gear then third. I looking over and she was 2 cars behind. Now I'm in fifth gear going 100+, pulling hard as hell on her, and she is now 5 or 6 cars back. I looked down at the speedo and 150 was buried for about five second then I let off. NOTE: I haven't installed the speedometer calibrator so it's off about 20-25mph at the speed. I whooped that Eclipse Gts ass!
So, I suppose the best part of this was at the third light. She pulls up to me on the left and we roll down our windows and I say to her..."Now you know, if you want a real ass whoopin' I'll need you number". And the amazing part, that line worked and she gave me her number! Now I'm taking her tonight!
