There is no way a stock GT chirps in 3rd, at least shifting with the clutch. I've never speed shifted my car (without using the clutch), so if you've experienced a 3rd chirp stock speed shifting I believe you.

Speaking to Hammers reference to the Vortech.....my '00 GT more than chirped when I had the Vortech installed, but once I had the 3.73 gears put in with the Vortech, Holy Freaking Moly, the first time I really got on it and slammed it into second (and I was using the clutch) I laid about 15 feet of rubber down and the car practically swung around on me, and this was on the street (meaning excellent traction) and I had my BFG Drag Radials on. What a shocking combination, Vortech and 3.73's!! Now if I could only learn to drive at the track!
