Just got to drive a friends 2000 stang!
It felt like a Lexus compared to my car! Anyway, I have two questions about them:
1. What are the rpm's at 70mph?(5th gear, v8) 2. It felt slower than my car, but apparently they run a few tenths quicker. Do these cars pull harder in third and fourth than mine? Is that where they would catch up to my car? It spun second, but not much. What are your comments on how the 2000 performs. ------------------ Steve Yellow 89'LX 5.0 3.55, electric fan, hurst shifter,pullies,70mmMAF,cold air,full exaust,no a/c, MSD,all the cheap mods 14.32 @ 97 2.03 60 ft time |

At 70 MPH my car is at 2500 RPMs. My GT has only 2200 miles on it, can't wait till its fully broken in.
P.S Not to doubt your driving ability, but if you only spun 2nd alittle, its the driver not the car. My car (5 speed) spins second quite easily and on a good day chirps third. Later... PDog ------------------ 2000 Mustang GT, Eibach Lowering Springs, K&N Air filter, Dual Chamber Flowmasters |
