Default 05+gt versus 98gt

Well I ran into this yellow mustang at a set of lights at the beginning of the freeway. I know it's an automatic loss but what the heck he wanted to go. I kinda thought with my 4.10's I could maybe jump him a bit but the opposite happened. He jumped about2 cars on me immediatly to about 70-75mph, the funny thing was I stayed with him the whole time, I thought with the npi heads i would drop off in powerat the higher rpm's. It was fun anyways. 2 more week till the track opens, can't wait!!

a manual has a direct connection, while a torque converter has a torque multipling slippage

a maual will apply full lock at high rpms while the converter isnt using all the power

on the other hand, a converter multiplys torque so its amplified at the lower rpms
