Either way i blame it on my tranny. I floor it at 2000 RPMs and what does it do? Rather than downshift into 2nd, it decides "You know what Mike, Im not gonna down shift, but rather have all this extra fuel and air come into me anyways and still run it up from 2k"

I normally dont race, I get very picky about where I am and what the conditions are, I just like to drive so I usually cruise 37 to see whats out and hang out with a few friends. However I was very curious to see how I'd do against a 3rd gen F-body. I had a feeling that you didnt downshift on that run, but I was more surprised that you shut it down so quickly. I was in 2nd gear winding it out waiting for you to go and when I hit 3rd it seemed like you shut down already. If you would like another run let me know.
Im down there every friday and saturday. Usually I can be found at the small Wawa. and BTW how did my car sound from the outside?
