If he could keep his hands off the paddles and quit short shifting it, the RE would have whooped their ass even more.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.

 

[DGatzby]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.

As you know I have posted the same all over the place. I just don’t know what makes them all just think they are so much smarter than the machine. Do they think it can’t shift on its own? I have had mine to the floor on those road tracks as long as about anyone, and these things have a perfect mind of their own at WOT in the upper gears. It is consistent and they like drinking that gas all the way into that red area. To short it by a few hundred RPM is cutting the RE off at about just HC power or less. Plus after the shift, the car is at a bit lower RPM than optimal. Those guys still do well because the torque curve is so great even at low RPM. Face it, MT did that big drag race, from 1/4 to 1/2 mile only the Aston and the McLaren bettered it between those markers. I hope you guys can get a clean spot to have fun.

The lost Summer LOL and yeah @VARedEye and I never met up for various reasons and one being there is recall on my GT500 for the brake pedal possibly breaking. And another issue as well the super charger coolant line on mine was not routed correctly as well. So for the time being my Car Is Parked. The replacement brake part is supposed to be available in November.

If the Redeye looses I am blaming the driver

I think thats a fair statement but unlikely to come true 😎

Yeah we need to revisit this at a later date. I was most certainly looking forward to the run and meeting with you.

Yeah and believe it or not every Friday was not a good day for me and or rain. Weekends are to risky IMO to go out and find a nice area to do this. And I have a good area for us outside of Frederick Md on 340 going towards Harpers Ferry.

 

[ChargerChallenger]

I am doing some research and my car was built in February so it may not be part of the recall. Recall claims cars built March thru August and I’m calling my dealer tomorrow to hopefully get a clarification.

 

[ChargerChallenger]

This could be the look lol
Head to head

Keep it up. I am about to hit the road with a COVID type of BD trip in later November. May just need to include DC. You have any other tires for that RE, or do I need to ship in some big PS4S’s and do this for us?

 

[Hickster]

Question for you know it alls. Not to confused by us non intense thinkers like me. What does the 500 stand for on the stang. I know what the 350 stands for and it has nothing to do with the engine. Should count for 2 questions. 350 is, I know, 500 I don't know. Bee good info before the car show tomorrow nite. Hickstah

@VARedEye is running his RE not mine just so you know.

 

[Hickster]

Well, is from that's a good answer. GT350 from Mr Rouch cause he had to walk 350 feet from the building where they built manufactored stangs to the building where he had his modified. Nothing to do with HP or anything else. Now what does the 500 stand for?? I don't know. Now just watching a car show on cable. They put out 96,000 units of Chargers in 1964. I was a young in but remember driving one,, from there on till today. Right before the stang stung.

@VARedEye do you have some aftermarket rubber on that thing?
@ChargerChallenger what tires does the Ford have on it?

Factory Summer tires and yeah if it’s gonna happen it needs to be soon due to the weather. This last May I took her out and it was a cool like 50 degrees and damn I just about crashed her. I was coming onto the Beltway from an exit ramp and I was doing about 40-45 mph and nailed her to pass another car and she just about got sideways and clipped the car I was passing. It was in all the years driving the closest crash that could have happened. So yeah the summer tires suck in cool temps.

Absoutly, running PS4s 305 up front and 345 in the rear

 

[ChargerChallenger]

I have a call into my service adviser trying to get an answer on the brake recall as I type.

Agreed, cold weather = crap for traction
