hehe this is great,
me and a buddy were out crusing last night with the t-tops off at about 10:30 looking for some action. there is a red light ahead of us and my friend notices a honda sitting at the light with some neons a body kit and some bigass exhaust, so we pull up to the light and i rev it only a lil trying not to scare him off. the guy wasnt interested so the light turns green and i take off as normal. however at the light i didnt notice the ford expedition sitting on my left. (the honda was on my right i was in the middle) when the light turns green the expediton peels out and takes off(the car had like 4 teenage boys in it?) still wanting to play i decide to run em down, the problem was i was already in second at 25 mph and was to lazy to down shift(bc i didnt think it was necassary) and they were still ahead of me by the time i reached the top of second, so i start to get a lil nervous, not wanting to lose to a expedition, and put my game face on. i throw it perfectly from 2nd into 5th and say son of a B*it*ch by the time i could get any rpms goin we were at the next light and i had to sit next to a car of laughing guys with the ttops off.

How is your gate set up? I mean, 1st to 5th is a BIG bog on a shift.

whenevr i throw it from 2nd to third quickly i cant just throw it staight up as i do in normal driving, i have to push it up at a slight angle to get it into thrid quickly, if the angle is too great it goes into 5th
