50 gears.

Fitty..................one:disgust Cobras

The GT 500? I hope so!

Why don't you drive around the mall and ask some fat guy who breathes heavy that would actually give a fuck about your asinine'ing question.

How old are you ? LOL.

you're a bit slow today my man :winkwink:

That was GFY karma for him posting 49 and then trying to come back and post 50 as well.

I know how to drive a stick. I had a three speed once, but never a six speed. It just feel so strange having that extra gear.

You represent the company you work for rather well there, don't you?

those ppl who started with driving non automatic can't imagine to drive automat. But i think i'd rather start driving automat, thought i passed driving exsam with non.:)

Okay, not the best of pictures.... it's getting dark out and I'm having a "bad day" believe it or not. So here you all go.

Looks great...love the color!

nice pics, so i even envy you in good sense.

Very hot mate. Congrats on the purchase.:thumbsup

:thumbsup

hot car man

come to vancouver and let me have sex with the exhaust pipe

Two cars? Shit - Playboy must be treating you right :thumbsup

I'm working on my second car right now as well :winkwink:

I use my Explorer to get me (and my gear) to and from the shoots but I need something small (convertible) to buzz around town in. Driving that Explorer every day is draining me with gas prices the way they are :Oh crap

forget about first gear and start off in second...

Perhaps you should have worked out how 6 gears work before you paid for the car.

Congratz RH

Fuck you seriously need a lesson.

It goes more like this.

Mash loud pedal to the floor - select gear - side step clutch.

Now you have some choices here
1. - pump throttle so as not to hit the rev limiter OR
2. - to hell with it keep the foot mashed OR
3. - foot mashed but turn the wheel and have some fun :)

Changing up gears - keep foot flat out - select next gear and side step clutch. Careful not to turn yourself around :thumbsup

Well if you miss 5th, atleast you'll have a 6th! :)

i have a gray one, you will love it! :thumbsup :thumbsup

heh 2nd to 4th to 6th voila a 3 speed again :thumbsup

Congrats! :thumbsup

What a heap.

Last time i drove one of those i noted that the steering wheel was:

A) not inline with the center of the drivers seat
and
B) on an angle so that one arm would need to outstretch more than the other when holding the wheel at 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock say

Sorry to be a hater but there are some ergonomic basics with building cars - ford didn't get it on this model.

sexy car, congrats on the new purchase!

Sweet looking ride, congrats

wow didnt see the pics yet nice gotta love that color

congrats :thumbsup

nice ride, congrats

Congrats, dont let the 6th gear get to u;)

6th gear on my car is for cruising motorway at about 70-90mph

EXCELLENT choice, Rochard!!! The '03-'05 Cobras fucking rock; damn near bought one myself. Beautiful color too... Lazer Red? :winkwink: :pimp

7gear automatic

the car is very nice, but this thread really doesnt make any sense... how hard is it to drive a 6 speed instead of a 5 speed? wtf is there to explain? its got one more gear. Wow very difficult!

Mustangs rock

I want to by this car !!!

an engine with adequate torque does not need many transmission gears.

add shifting gears to a car like a ford mustang is hype, a function of the marketing dept., it does not improve performance, only narrows the ratios between overal gearing. it does give the "performance oriented" driver more fun though, he may think it makes the car go faster. in truth it will probably be slower due to more time shifting.

usually you will see more gears with less horsepower to weight ratio---(18 wheeler trucks, 600cc motorcycles, etc).

and it is true you can drive off in 2nd gear from a dead stop easily in a mustang.

yes, thats why i posted it...

Congrats on the CObra! Don't have too much fun!

What are you, stupid?

He's not asking how to drive a standard. He's asking how to drive one with six gears instead of the five gears most cars here usually have.

Nver drive car like that,whats the difference?

Congrats on the new car, now we just have to get it bottle fed and were good!

found on road dead :1orglaugh

nice cars

Yep. Unless the powerband is very narrow, which is unlikely with a (big) US engine and a supercharger (I assume, since R asked about them), four gears would be plenty. Several have confirmed that with the comments about first and I would guess that 6th is effectively an overdrive.

BTW what did you want to know about superchargers? Basically they do the same job as turbochargers - pump more air/gas into the engine - with the difference that they are (belt) driven by the engine and not the exhaust. That's slightly less efficient, but on the plus side they start working as soon as the engine is running, whereas turbochargers don't kick in until they hit whatever rev range they were designed for. Although modern turbochargers are improved a lot, some still suffer lag when you put your foot down. Not a problem with a supercharger.

Sweet looking car man..chicks dig that

The only reason someone would ask "how do i drive a manual 6 speed?" is if you'd NEVER driven a manual. Anyone who had driven a manual 5 speed wouldnt be asking what happens when you get into another manual with an extra gear - simple, when you've finished with 5 or break redline......... shift to 6, revs drop....lol.

So Rui isnt stupid to say that, he's probably just european like myself. Most europeans learn to drive in manuals, which is why this question would NEVER arise.

when u wanna get a ticket, u use 6th gear! it is good for speeding.
