Ugh. I needs me a shift kit. Very embarassing day. As many New Edge auto stang owners know, these automatics are noisy, inconsistent piles of malarchy that royally blow 95% of the time. Im going to Taco Bell, and am following this riced out red Honda. Hes revving, tried doing a burnout but just threw the car around 'cuz of them fancy cut springs, and just looked like a dumbass. we both turn onto a four lane road, and i take the opportunity to pass him. I was doing 35mph, and literally COASTED by him and his friend. The friend yells "FLY-BY!" out the window. Thats aboot the time i go WTF? and lay on the brakes, slowing back down to drive next to him. And we just kinda cruise next to each other. I have O/D and trac off, hes cruising. I decide to floor it, and guess what? Milliseconds before i drop the hammer, he downshifts and goes ***** out, gets the jump on me and ran for maybe 30 feet(heavy traffic). What did my POS mustang do? It downshifts and justs starts throwing revs out its ***, the damn thing didnt even lurch. So I guess i lost my first race to a Honda. And I know my car is a hell of a lot faster than that pile. I hope i see him on the freeway, i really do. F*ckin Ford.

hey man keep ur head up..save some money get a shift kit and you will be fine, gears too wont hurt and tuner to firm up the shifts, thats what im getting ready to do soon...and just 3 weeks ago i was with about 5 other stangs on the highway and a srt-4 got next to me and i just floored it at around 55-60 and he freakin passed me like i was sitting still, but he wont stock tho, still felt stupid with all the guys right behind seeing the whole thing

If that falls through, ill do some more basic go-fast mods to my six banger and focus all of my attention on my fox.
Anyways, on TransGo's site, it says something aboot not being able to put the car in D anymore? But blstoff says differently, so if anyone has one, tell me whats up[8D]
