Nice Dado. So how is my 2.93 working out on the car?

Dado · #3 (**permalink**) 09-25-2003, 07:08 AM

thanks a lot Carlos. Sorry it came out to that but I was supposed to have one 2 months ago but the information just wasn't being forwarded.

IMO I think the gearing is perfect, the car felt pretty stable doing 180 in 5th. I did not go into 6th though, kinda scared

Looks Great Dado! Can't wait to see some clips of you driving the hell out of it! Good Luck in Europe with whatever you rent - have you lined up anything yet?

Cheers!

Glad to hear it is holding up. Hmmm, 180mph in 5th, I wonder if I need that 2.79 instead considering I only have a measly five gears

How stable did the car feel at 180?

Dado · #8 (**permalink**) 09-25-2003, 07:15 AM

very stable, I was still changing lanes with no problem. BTW I did get into 6th and the car was still pulling like I was in 5th but I let go right away.
