miamiguy305 Member Registered: 01/18/08 Posts: 549 Loc: Miami , FL	Ok, i drove the car buy mistake for a few miles on the 3 right under drive position on my vette felt like the car response was better. does it hurt the car driving in the 3 positon, or ever switching from "D" to "3". ? PS the borla sounds great on 3 lol. _________________________ 2002 Corvette Convertible, yellow with black Interior, Black Top, Automatic, Z51, Performance package Ratio 3:15,Borla Stingers, blackwing air intake system

leadfoot Full Throttle Member Registered: 07/31/01 Posts: 4788 Loc: Pennsylvania	I usually run in 3rd sometimes 2nd and only on open road hit D.. just more fun and no harm done. Watch your tranny fluid temperature that will tell you if you are pushing it too hard. _________________________ SOLD MY C5 Looking for my next one
