new trick for the conti

[ground_zero298]

because of the snow i have not been able to get on her at all the last couple months. Well its been dry for the last 3 days so i decided to give her a go. Wanted to try out a top run in 3rd gear. well if u own a conti you know it :q:q:q:qs out at the 3-4 shift around 100mph 4.5k rpm. If you leave it in 3rd it pulls pretty damn hard to 122 mph. when i say hard i mean hard. I got a new trick for the mustang guys this summer

Now im pissed i don't have a #2 on the damn shifter.

Just thought id pass that along for the few of us that like to get on the conti's from time to time.

Electronic shift: 1 out of 100 times it will mess up and work right producing one hell of a run. Problem is, the 1 time it works, no one's around to see it.

From what I remember, when I left it on 3rd accidentally, it just hit the limiter and would not go any faster. I will try it but it is pushing 205K, so I am gonna wait a while before I have another car as a back up...lol

If you want 2nd gear just shift out of 1st to 3rd then back to 1st. I tried it and it was in 2nd. That is a old Mustang trick

Yeah the trans ain't dumb enough to try to go into 1st... Right? Right??? lets hope not.

Yep that works, tranny won't go back into first over 25 mph. 2nd hits 90 mph at 6900 rpm's
