Message	try to launch your car around 2600 RPM's... it should keep the engine from boggin down... if you start to spin, quickly step off and back on the gas... NO... grinding gears isn't normal... work on your shifting... seriously, before you need a new gearbox... try this when shifting... instead of using your whole arm to move the shifter, use wrist motions when going 1st to 2nd... 3rd to 4th... it takes some practice to get it right, but it works for me... as for getting beat by the stang... don't let too many people find out... it's not something that happens to a Z... what mods do you have on your car????
