GOD, the sound. Makes the heart beat ""good"". (may need some more seat padding)
Again, 2nd gear, the tach hit 6500 or maybe 7k, not sure as my visibility was obscured by the big grin, yea baby, get 3rd reallllllllllllly hard, bang, again I felt it in my hips this time but much harder. AND I mean hard.
Boy, just writing this makes me sweat.
I'm sure there was some tire spin during each shift but the car was straight as an arrow. No squiggles or slides, it just hooked.
I didn't let 3rd go too high as I noticed we were VERY illegal. I pulled it into 4th gear and all was well,.....all the way home no problems.
