new gears

Pearl GT40 306 · 08-22-2002, 11:30 PM

yesterday i swapped my rear out for one with 2.73's, yep. It sucks. But im goin to arizona (i live on long island) soon for school. UTI. the 2.73's are funny cause once the car gets past 15 mph it picks up. I'm now a 40 mph predator. instead of a 1/4 mile car. Should be fun.

I would chunk those gears and get a set of 3.73 (IMO)

So you went from 4.10's to 2.73's. Hehe, I remember when I went from 2.72's to 4.10's. The first time I got on it, I was bouncing off the rev limiter because I wasn't used to the rpm's climbimg that fast

I can only imagine what those 2.73's feel like. It must seem like each gear takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to wind out

If you're talking about his front bumper, it's a piece from Cervini's called the "stalker". It has those teardrop fog lights and it even comes with the grille insert! Feel free to correct me if it's not the stalker Cyberstang5.0.
