got out of 1st without giving any gas!

[supastang03]

i was bored and tried to get my car rolling in first gear without applying the gas pedal, and it worked! is this bad for the car?

Not if you let the clutch out slowly.

 

[DBMSTNG]

that's an advantage of having low end torque.

 

[wesl56]

and u had to post about it? lol i do that all the time, no its not bad

for another laugh, try starting out in 4th

I roll out of 2nd or 3rd just for $h!ts and giggles all the time, just ease out the clutch

heres some tech for ya jackie:

ive started in 2nd or 3rd and gotten going w/o using the gas . it takes a lot of practice, but since i have 4.10s,it makes it very easy. i dont know if i could do this this stock 3.27 gearing, but my 4.10s are just fun. i actually learned to drive a standard this way. my dad told me to get the car going w/o any gas. it teaches good clutch control. just IMO

I did this with my old Maxima It's not anything to be proud of...

yes it does make it easy to learn a stickshift when you are taight that way

I have to agree with Jackie here - This tech thread is a little embarressing =D


Its no challenge at all to get the car rolling in 4th gear (on level ground), or possibly even 5th. I know I've messed around and done 4th before with no problems. Its just patience, because it takes time for the power of the idle to push the car up to adequate speed for the clutch to fully engage.

Now quickly, someone start talking about burnouts before Stangnet falls apart.

 

[Jackie Chan]

lets see if you can do burnouts without using the gas, now that would be impressive

 

[zgarske1038]

im really confused on what you guys are actually doing

 

[Ryan02Stang]

One time at band camp...

 

[Mustang5L5]

I can do it in 4th with my 5.0's

 

[flashstang04]

Wellllll,
It definitely is not technical, but it gets important REAL fast when you have to drive on ice in a real wheel car that has 250-300+ HP!!!!!
