I was on the way home from the gym today, and was in a particular mood to do some 0-60 pulls. For the first time ever, i chirped into 3rd gear . Not an amazing story but it was awesome to do.

 

I remember the first time I chirped third in my auto... scared the hell out of me... 3rd gear hit at like 80mph and I heard the tires and feel a slight wiggle...ugh..no thanks.

I guess its cool to know you can do it but at the same time it makes me uneasy knowing that I can...

 

Powershifting? I've heard several New Edge GT's do at at the local 1/8th mile track, sounds cool, especially after you bark 2nd.

 

lol nah, i was just shifting average speed with the stock shifter. im kinda scared to powershift, i'll probably mess it up lol

 

^ I understand, I've never pwr. shifted mine, too much stress on it. Beside I don't like ragged out cars.

 

I usually got third everytime in mine when it was stock. I figured it would hit harder after the tune and stuff. Now it just slips the belt when i shift to thrid really hard.

 

you guys know how to chirp gears in an auto? [8D]

 

i chirped 4th gear in my 01gtvert at the track once lol i couldnt believe it. i thought i heard it but i wasnt sure my friend had the camcorder and when we got home and watched it it turns out i did chirp it
bbk off road x-pipe
40 series flowmaster cat back exhaust
bbk cold air intake
bbk 75mm throttle body
bbk aluminum underdrive pulleys
UPRfull length subframe connectors
ford racing 4.10 rear end gears
SCT flash tuner is wut was done to it

 

there is a club of nothing but stick shift racers. Some of these are 8 second cars and when they shift, they pull wheelies even in 3rd gear. Takes a big set to drive one of these monsters

 

I chirped 3rd shifting quickly quiteoften in my V6...
