Hey guys.......I'm new here! BTW, love the site........Anyhow, I have a question. I'm a the owner of an '02 GT. I've only had it for 3 months now and I guess I'm not really used to driving it. This is the first "sports" car that I've ever owned. Before this, it was 4-banger Nissans and so forth, So......YEAH!!! BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!!!! Anyhow, I was driving mine today and I decided to get on it a little bit. I hardly get on it THAT hard. (What's the use, right?) As I pulled out onto the street, I had it in 1st and I let off of the clutch and eased on the gas. When I hit about 2000 rpms, I floored it. But when I did that, it felt like it kinda stalled a little bit then it absolutely kicked in. Is that normal? I tried it a couple more times (and of course I got it sideways) but it didn't do it any more. Like I said, I'm new to this kind of vehicle and driving this car is a new kind of experience for me. Also, when I got on it, I think I let it rev too high because I felt it kinda stall before I changed gears. Is that what they call the "rev-limiter"? Someone told me that the engines in these cars are VERY tough and run extremely well at high rpms. Is this true? I rarely run the car like that. Any input on how I can maximize my driving experience without "ragging" my sweetheart to death? Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!
