We have to shift into 3rd before we get to 60, that adds a chunk right there unless you're a good shifter.

Mark I have heard about this "granny shifting" here and there, but I have never been for sure on what this ment, could someone clarify this for me. Possibly explain how the best/fastest way is. All I do is push in the clutch, shift, and let off the clutch as fast as I can Alex 00 T-Red/Tan SVTC #1964/2150 167 HP @6800 153 TQ @3000 Sold- 98 'Tour SE 24V 5-spd 149 HP @5900 148 LB FT @4300

Though some people still might consider your shifting granny shifting if you're not doing it as fast as them. Some people can shift extremely fast. Granny shifting is just slow shifting. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15
