Well I finally did it. Traded in the GT for a redfire 04' cobra. I never drove stick before, so me pulling out of the dealership was an ugly sight for sure.
Made it home in one piece thank god. Driving a stick i finally realize how
much fun I had been missing the last 4 years. Right now I am taking it easy
on the shifts, trying to learn the car. I like how the arrow lights up to let
you know it is time to up-shift, but it tells you to shift so soon. I would like
to rev it up alittle higher in the rpm band before shifting. Do you guys with
stick shift at a high rpm? Also, If you are rolling at around 40 mph in 5th
gear and you want to really get on it, are you supposed to downshift to like
3rd or 4th gear and really wind it out? I guess these are things I am going
to learn. Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it.
P.S.- If anyone is in the eastern De. County area in Pa., and you see a red
Cobra stalling out at a red light, it's probably me, so feel free to say hello
