Default Who Hoo

I know I have a GT, but I just got to share this with my buds first. Well incase some of you didn't know I brought my car into the shop today because I thought that I was starting to have some serious tranny issues. Turns out my exhaust, h pipe and cat backs, are pretty much falling apart and that a pipe that connects to the h pipe had rusted and broken off. So when my school money gets in I'm buying another mid pipe, most like an x pipe, another set of catbacks, still very up in the air on this one, a light weight flywheel, and a stage 1 or two clutch. But here's the really cool thing, before I went to pick my car up I asked them to put the car on the lift and let me know what gears I had because I was idleing way too high when at 70mph and guess what, I've got 3.55, pretty sweet in my book.

How do you confuse a rusting exhaust system or faulty exhaust system for a tranny problem???

Well I was boasting because I found out I had 3.55s, not because my exhuast is falling apart.
