it's not that it falls flat on face in the upper RPMs though, if you short shift you end up too low in the revs in the next gear and that's wasted time getting back into the powerband.GinoGT said:I'll try shifting earlier for a couple passes next time at the track, maybe about 5200 or so. I can tell my powerband sort of does a face plant up near redline, plus I think the 4.10's will let me get away with shifting earlier.
GinoGT said:With the 4.10's though, the car just runs throuh the first 2 or 3 gears so quickly. Besides, the car feels like it has the most torque at around 4000, so a shift putting me at or just before 4k would be pretty good. I think it's the 3-4 shift where it'll actually put me past 4k if I take it to redline.
JonJon said:i have 2 Gtech's, the regular and the competition. but i know it has limitations like
1) the non competition one is easily miscalibrated
2) the road has to be perfectly flat
3) wheel spin = less accurate readings
4) competition model is awesome
in my 99 GT, stock, i ran 14.0x runs with the non competition model
then i went to the drag strip and ran low 14's until i got a 13.706 run
so if you're using the gtech right (assuming it's a non competition) you are driving like craaaaaaaap
or it's miscalibrated, or it's not a flat road

CManT1914 said:Maybe I'm just ignorant but I've never heard of a Gtech, can you explain what it is and how it works? Thanks man.

Then you go the the track, get the timeslip, and realize you suck.
Happens to all of us.
I admit I went down the track with the stupid traction control on twice and I ran a 15.5 and I spun the stock tires. I did not feel the car bogging down and the tire light coming on although I did expearance that going a little fast around a turn on a other occasion. I wish they would have made it so it was normally off and you have to push the button to turn it on. That would just make sinceBlue1 said:The car is new to me (600 miles). I haven't had a stick car since the early nineties. I haven't noticed the light in the instrument cluster. And it turned the wheels off the line; acceleration just seemed a bit off.
BTW, how well did you know your car after 600 miles?
