where were the rev limiters when I needed them back in the sixties

I bounce my C5 of the limiter quite often, it gets there quick and I don't shift as fast as I used to

In my Z06, first gear gets up and goes pretty quickly....and yup, I too have bounced off the rev limiter....ok...have found a way to do it in 2nd gear and 3rd gear.....and one time, my sister (she passed away in January '04 after a long bout with cancer) was visiting and I let her drive it......I still laugh to this day and can hear myself screaming....SHIFT SHIFT SHIFT......she had bounced off the rev lmiter in first gear.....we both were laughing so hard....I didn't care.....just one of many memories I have of my sister......and a precious one for sure!

I bounced it off the limiter while taking the husband of a colleague for a ride recently.

He stopped by the garage a few times during the project to register his amazement over what was going on. I decided to reward him with a little taste of real horsepower. :gap

"Freakin' scarey", is all he could say.

My main concern is IRS longevity. I figure the weakest point is the half-shafts. Since I'd like to get Bowling Green and Carlisle out of the way before any major damage, I'll satisfy myself with a few more burnouts and then hit the 401 west on June 9th.

On the way to the cottage, I checked the speedo (using FRS radios) with my wife who was following in her Grand Prix. As I had calculated, it was almost exactly dead on accurate. On the way back from the cottage this weekend, I happened across an open patch of freeway and decided to see how stable it was at higher speed. At 130mph / 217kph it was smooth and vibration free, and just loafing along wondering what the big deal was. It's easily capable of 170+, but not with me anymore. Those days are long gone.

By the way, I'm well over 800 miles now and the car is totally dependable. I'd leave for Hollywood in the morning if they'd offer me a leading role. :gap

 

[bossvette]

I'll bet it handled the road to the cottage better then my C5 did

I can't wait June 9th is coming soon.

thanks.....she was my only sister, older by 8 years....so she was my big sister, even though there occurred a point in time where I was her little BIG borther.......

These cars are meant to make memories......all kinds......some we will cherish and remember a lot longer than others......

I am also sorry with your sister passing.


Cancer is an evil disease,it destroys lifes and familys. I pray that it can be eliminated some day.You,me,anybody reading this post has to get invoulved in eliminating this evel thing.One of the ways we can help with are Donations that get into the hands of the researchers directly.I will not slam any of the associations out there but some of our donations end up building bigger adminstation building witch are necessary to the cause but we need to get the money out there to the front lines PLEASE take the time to donate some how,

We all know we have to go sometime but with Cancer its always a suprize,one day your on top of the world and the next day your fighting for your life with barely enough energy to wake up,It does not care who you are or how old you are or how healthy a life you have lived.

Hospice another place to support,these are the people you never want to meet,but after you meet them youll always remember them.they help you to prepare for whats to come.

You know I dont want to make this thread other then what it is but I feel you guys are my peers and what I am saying youll understand I have no other motive then to engourage you to help some how.
If you know some one who is battleing cancer go to there home and just dig in and help the family there worlds are upside down and there heads are spinning,thell never ask for help you just have to give it,

If its a close freind they are often embaressed by there aperance and dont like visitors,but just get in there and just hold there hand,listen to them talk and give them any comfort you can,

Again I am sorry for yours and your families loss. I cant say I feel your pain but I can tell you I have been thru it with a loved one and I understand your pain.

Best of luck and unfortunately until cancer strikes close to you ,you just dont understand the magnatude of how evel it is
