Before I got my GT and had my v6, I always thought that GT's could chirp 3rd gear under WOT. I can't seem to do that, and was just wondering if it was because my GT is underpowered or if it's normal and i'm just paranoid.

thanks

I never had any problem, maybe you shift too slow, or at the wrong rpm. Get gears and fourth is easy too.

i bet you're just shifting too slow... i could chirp 3rd when i got my 03 new... with the stock 3.27 its possible to chirp 4th too but ive only dont it once... 3.73 and 4.10's easy chirp in 4th. go out to a really smooth road and try shifting at around 5800rpm... really clost to redline if not right on it.... plus the stock shifter sucks... buy a Tri-Ax... thatll help

Yeah I've been able to chirp 3rd with the factory shifter and 355 gear several times since I purchased the car. Actually its not the easiest with the long throw from 2nd to 3rd but my triax is on the way and I expect it to be muuuch easier then.

I've chirped 'em on the 2-3 shift at the track before, with stock gears and shifter. Not power shifting, just speed shifting, usually doesn't happen though, not sure what I did differently. I'm too scared to powershift.

cjist1- The "kissme" thing is a censor for bad words. I think they're trying to promote love, peace and harmony.

I used to have a major crush on the lead singer (Robert Smith) when I was 14.

To keep this on-topic, I have chirped my tires going into 2nd gear in my auto, but I don't pay attention to it and I'm not sure under which circimstances I do it, or how to try and do it purposefully. I'm new to all this, and that's my excuse.

Get a shift kit or a manual valve body and you're set.
