I only drove it around the block Bobby to make sure everything felt ok. I'm driving the G out to TNT tomorrow to pick up some stuff I'll get a chance to test it out then.

watch your mpg dive-bomb!

Not because of the gear ratio - but because its sooooooo hard to stay off the accelerator in lower gears cause the zippy thrust is so much fun

You may find yourself needing to adjust rear sways because traction will be different around quick accelerated cornering... at least that's what I experienced with the 3.7...

Have fun - watch for po-po

I just got back from a scary (watching out for po-po) drive out to the body shop. I was driving without mirrors on .....anyways....when I left the shop...on the side roads where the shop is at...I went from 3/4 to 1/4 tank in less than 4 zippy thrusts So much fun! 0-60 has a whole new feeling...that and with the trans-go I installed ...all you could see was teeth

I think I NEED 3.7 gears now

Nice

I don't think 3.5 to 3.7 is significant enough to warrant switching... 3.5 is a good value when you find a low mileage used.

I def need to get VB one of these days - as well as a few other tricks... problem is I have no short list

Glad you're enjoying the zip! po-po ftl - shorter fd FTW!

^^^ do you have your secret build list? ... I'm pretty sure we all have our "list" that no one knows about... I just wonder if I'll still have the car by the time my list is all checked off

Go FI Chris!!! We Need a boosted AT sedan in the mix
