My Trans Am had a 6 sp. I could be driving along at almost 100mph and barely braking 2800rpm. Completely useless otherwise. At 80mph if I stepped on the gas it would bog out. I had to downshift at 80 to get it to accelerate. Of course at 155mph it was fun to have the 6th gear. Suprised quite a few unsuspecting Carreras. The turbos on the other hand still had some more to go and would leave me at about 160. Then I realized how fast I was going and wondered what in the Hell I was thinking. I am glad that car is gone. I could have killed myself and maybe someone else. People with the speed adiction should not be allowed to have cars that fast. LIKE ME!!! That is why I could never own a fast motorcycle. I know I would be dead then. I realized I cant control my addiction and sold the car. John Addicted to speed so i drive a slow Spitfire and a 6000lb Land Rover with a grossly underpowered V8. (hhmmm, imagine that 3.9l in my Spit, Oh here I go thinking again). 76 Spit /// spitfires@autox.team.net mailing list /// To unsubscribe send a plain text message to majordomo@autox.team.net /// with nothing in it but /// /// unsubscribe spitfires /// |
