    2000 saleen VS. 2003 Lancer Evo

    A dude I know has an Evo and I always pull on him from a roll. From a dig he owns me, but he won't race me from a dig again. Something about too many hard drag launches screwing his stuff up :shrug:.

    anyone ever barked tyres on a downshift?

    I'm talking about actually locking the rears up because they either a) did not attempt to rev match, or b) attempted to rev match, but ended up short.

    anyone ever barked tyres on a downshift?

    I've been driving around people that do this on the road, barking the tires on downshifts. In all honesty it looks really stupid. It makes them look like they can't drive. Hell-toe rev matching is where it's at.

    anyone ever barked tyres on a downshift?

    I just raised my gas pedal to make it easier. I can only do it well with my new balances or this pair of dress shoes i have. The pair i generally wear to school is difficult to heel-toe in. It was hard to heel-toe with the gas pedal at stock height. Now with the brake and gas even it's...

    anyone ever barked tyres on a downshift?

    i rev match. heel-toe downshift all the time i'm feeling racey, which is 99% of the time. IMO when you do it right it looks better than the car jerking all over and barking the tires on downshifts... it looks like you actually know what you're doing.

    2003 Mustang GT 5spd Magnaflow Cat-Back Exhaust Sounds great. Can't really tell if there are any gains as I don't have headers or mid-pipe yet, but it sounds great. Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Great mod. The shifts are so much better now, the throw is much shorter and everything is...

    3:73's, 3:90's or 4:10's

    I can't comment on any other ratios, but I have 4.10s and love them. 5th is a power gear now and it's nice having power while I cruise down the highway. Around here I am normally doing 70-75 and i am around 2500rpms. The car pulls much harder in all the gears. Instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, it's...

    Well guys, looks like my 3rd gear synchro blew out. It's like slamming into a brick wall every time i try to shift to 3rd fast. I'm going to take it in sometime this week.

    Well, I got my car with about 60 miles on it and when it's just started up there is a clunk and occaisionally a grind when going into 2nd gear. The grind was very subtle though and nothing very big. You could hear and feel the clunk when going 1-2. It just had a feel of reluctancy to engage...

    What causes my car to struggle when I floor it?

    I doubt the air silencer would do anything. Check your intake for air leaks, that could be it. But as was said above maybe you need a tune up.

    I have noticed that when I'm hard on the car I don't have any clunking or grinding, its very smooth. Kinda wierd. :shrug:

    What causes my car to struggle when I floor it?

    I have a friend who has a '92 Camaro RS auto with pretty much the same problem as you. He says it's caused by a hole or crack in his intake.

    I've had mine since May 19 and the coldest it has been here since then is about 59 degrees. The tranny feels reluctant to engage 2nd gear, sometimes it wants to kick back out. It clunks and clanks when it goes in, and occaisionally it will grind. 2-3 seems to be fine, however it has grinded...
