I missed a 3rd to 4th shift and went to second in my 90 Mustang GT with 3.73 gears in the rear. The motor hit red line but the crappy part was the back tires just drug so much that the car just started to slide like crazy.. Imagine doing 70 and locking the parking brake.. That's what it was like..

your post reminded me of high school. A friend of mine had 12 in glass packs on a 84 chevy pick up. That is how he would rack off is pipes.3-2 at the top of 3 some times 4-2 most of the way through 4th. If he couldn't pull it into gear. He would stand up put both hands on the gear shift and drop on it so cram it in. He did this into reverse from 35mph. Only he stabbed the gas. The rear wheels slid for about 20 ft then bunny hopped for another 20ft. changed direction and roasted the off to get back to were he passed me on the side of the road.All of this with out lifting off the throttle. I was walking when he noticed me. That was the quickest way to give me a lift.

Oh to be young and dumb. That was a seriously tough truck. chevy 305 bone stock except for dual exhaust and a 4 speed with granny gear. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
