hey guys,
My buddy wants to race his mustang gt against my 63. What is the ideal gear to be in while going 25-40 mph to launch the car with full brute force? i really want to embarrass him. Btw his mustang is 2010 so it doenst have the new 5.0 but he still thinks he can hang with me because his "gear ratio" is better and he drives a manual lol.

You could start in 5th and beat it!! Just what ever speed your at pull the left paddel itll go into the lowest gear possible

For a second there, I thought the title was "Lunch Question"

You must be hungry.

The real question is, when am I not hungry?

If you're horny, i got some viagras for you.

I would just put it in S mode and hold the left shift paddle down a second and it would go to the lowest gear.

Are you playing an ARG with me? I swear I saw a similar post somewhere, so random.

Just pointing out that you don't have to have your car in Manual to take advantage of the TCU's ability to change gears with the paddles.

Turn TC off, keep it in Sport trans mode, and drive to your desired roll speed then hold the left paddle down and the TCU will drop the trans into the lowest possible gear--at 25 mph, that will likely be 2nd gear.

Like Dodger said, the race won't be close.
