Ultimeas

Unlike George, my saga of getting a GT lasted only 2 weeks. Picked one out, signed the paperwork, picked it up a week later.

Learning stick is not NEARLY as hard as people talk about, its really not that difficult. However, racing it I could see being a bit of a problem. And wtf is up with the reverse on the mustang 5speed? Do all sticks say "**** you" sometimes when you want to go backwards? And I got really used to it driving to Columbus, hence the 700 miles part.

ANYWAY....George wanted pics, so here they are:







Black on black, exactly what I wanted (and YES, I did NOT want leather. Leather sucks. PERIOD)

First orders of business, new rims, new headlights, putting my system back in and moving the spoiler back, I can do without the gas pedal mod (the one with the hose and clamps/zipties), because it was hard enough with an auto, cant even IMAGINE doing it around the clutch pedal as well.

And I really have to learn how to ease out of first, I've burned a half a tank in one day .

nice man! as soon as i saw one pic i was gonna say headlights.

and use torque- you shouldnt need to give it alot to get moving. most cars with TQ you can practically let out the pedal the whole way without stalling. i didnt even need to hit the gas to move the chevelle around

Very NIIIIIIIIICCEEE!!! Congrats man, how does it feel to have those extra 2 cylinders?

To be completely honest, it feels faster than my buddies 02 Z28 auto, but I know better.

For the reverse, I meant that sometimes you CANT put it in R, you have to give it a little gas before itll set into R.

I was just messing around yesterday on the way to work, ripped through 2nd and thought I was gonna die, and I still had 3rd and 4th left (I shut down after 2nd because I was already at the speed limit), and I used a quarter tank to get to work and come home yesterday (about 15 miles lol).

Today, I did just like I did with my sixer, kept the RPMs to about 2k, then shifted. I barely saw my needle move today .

Looks good. Im not sure if your reverse has a synchro or not but mine doesnt so you have to put it in any gear thenpop it in reverse and it will go in without sticking

JT76

did someone put V6 rims on it?

Ultimeas

Ya, its actually only got 16-inch wheels on it right now, hence the "need new rims" part. I don't know when Ill get them though, rims are WAAAAY overpriced for what they are, unlike tires that are actually usually worth it.
