As dusman59 says, it's practice. My last stick was a Z. Once I became accustomed to it I rev matched most of the time. You are never going to get it correct every time. Something, I don't think was mentioned, is the fact you have to listen to the sound of the engine. For me, it was all I needed...
I know what you mean. I've been known to be truckin' up the NY Thruway, in a snow storm, top down, windows up and the heat blasting. How much fun can you have in a convertible, as much as you want! Although, that was in the '90s, in a Saab convertible and I'm a lot older now. Not sure I would...
Superstitious, like you don't name or rename a boat, without a proper ceremony. I understand that. I hope the guy I sold my boat to does it properly. It won't affect me, if he doesn't, but I think it might affect him. Glenn
This is my second convertible. I had a Saab convertible, that came with a wind screen. It made a big difference. So far, a couple of weeks, I don't find the wind bad in my GT. I'm going to wait and see how I like it, on a long road trip. Glenn
Adamrx11,
There will be numerous chances to enjoy that power. Considering the options you have, the ride and handling should be exceptional. Just sit back and enjoy! You just have to find the right roads. Since I got mine, I drive the most twisted and crooked roads I can find. Lots of fun! Who...
Old habits die hard. Suffice it to say, I don't find the button on top of the handle, a natural place to put the lock symbol. It would be much easier if the button was on the vertical face of the handle. The button on top, may be a Ford thing, but I haven't owned a Ford since 1971. Therefore, I...
I did some more testing this evening and locking with my right hand does seem to keep my fingers far enough away, so the car doesn't unlock after I have pressed the lock symbol. However, when I got dinner at Moe's I forgot and used my left hand. What a disaster! I gave up after 3 tries and used...
OK, my problem is solved, thanks to roadpilot. If I let my fingers get to close to the inside of the handle, not even inside, the car will unlock after I touch the lock symbol, using my left hand. If I keep my fingers as far away, as possible, the car remains locked. I have the same problem with...
Brian,
If I touch the door handle my car will unlock before I walk away. Now, I walk far enough away and use the FOB to make sure it doesn't unlock and I can hear it lock. Glenn
