I hate salt. I dont know of any place around here where there is more than a 1/4mile to legally drive over 65mph.

You put the manual transmission into low gear to get the vehicle moving and shift into higher gears as speed increases.

6th gear is too long to be used with the amount of hp our cars have, if you had way more power youd be able to use it. its there for cruising on highways at low rpms

5th gear is also overdrive, folks. 5th and 6th are both overdrive. Theoretically, top speed is reached at a 1:1 ratio, which is 4th gear.

Why do people resurrect these old threads? Do they do a search, find
an old thread and start replying to it? At least this one is not as old as some I've seen.....

Push the pedal on the right once you put the shifter in 5th gear... that's how I'd would do it anyway

The search function sometimes is a bit tedious to be polite. There are so many forums on this site that I can't say I "blame" the search function, but last time I did try to use it, it found the SS Minnow's crew faster than the SS Camaro question I asked....

<<<< is ... But it's fun...
Here is a video of our tuning session the other day getting ready for the mile... No nitrous, just raw turbo boost... And this is through the full exhaust system which is now off the car for the run at the mile...
