thanks,
yeh the new GT'S come with 3:27's, i finally figured out how to do it. i am getting some 373's in the very near future along with a magnapack catback.

Stangman, I have 2.73's and stock everything. I can get rubber in second no problem on dry pavement.

I don't know what all of you guys are talking about...I have a stock (well a K & N and flowmaster mufflers) 2002 5 speed GT with 3.27's, and even before I got those 2 mods, I could chirp 2nd to the point where i fishtailed a little, chirp 3rd so everybody can here me, and 2 times, with the traction control on I tried for 4th and i may have gotton it a little bit because the traction control kicked in and slowed me down. I can chirp 2nd and 3rd whenever i want, hot, cold, and my tires have 3K miles on them. :D

You shouldn't have to shift so high to chirp 2nd, I can chirp second under 4K rpm's...may not be the smartest thing to do, but I can still do it. Don't underestimate your cars fella's ;)

My mustang has chirped third brfore. It's not something we try to do though!

One more questoin how do I become a member of the ricer haters club???

Check out the blue oval lounge, that's where I got my acceptance.

you can chirp an auto too...

just take off in "1", run it all the way to right before the yellow on your tach (depends on your own car), then push up into "2"....if you have the traction control off or its raining, youll slide...hehe...but i've only done that a handful of times cuz on the stock trannies its not all that good for it..lol

but if you have a modified auto (like my dad's 90GT), you can easily do a "1-2-1" combo and spin the tires from the jump back to "1" from "2"....also makes you take off in that (almost) stock car a helluva lot faster then letting OD shift....*grin*

still....not too good for the autos to be doing either really...lol...and i dont think that my car takes off any faster from "1" than from OD....but its fun...hehe
