It's bad to chirp gear. Buy a second tranny for when your ring gear goes boom!

Remember your car will be slow in a straight line no matter how you drive it, so enjoy it while its running. If you want a "fast" car go buy a ragged out firebird for 3 grand.

they do suck, there fuzion hpi? but the only thing worse then changing a 944 tranny is blowing a timing belt, finding the time between high school and work to rebuild the head, the having to do it all over again because i didn't set the timing on the cam tower when i reinstalled it and bent 2 more valves. but ya live and you learn! but you are right about the slow car, my jeep was almost *** fast as this, and it was ragged out!
