My friend just sent this to me. He has a 97 3.9 5-speed RC. Good spank
story.

Subject: It's not the size of the engine, but how you shift it!
Dave,
The coolest experience of my driving life just happened. I got off work
this morning at 1:30 or so, and was driving home on Deihl. Well, I just
happened to be next to a Z71 that thought he was all bad when I got to the
corner of Deihl and Raymond. I pulled up and got the jump off the light,
which must have pissed him off. He floored it, and got even with me. I
kept it in second til redline, then went to third til redline, keeping him a
safe length behind me. I gave up at 60 because I didn't want to get a
ticket. We both ended up at the light on 59 going straight. While we're
sitting at the light, he's revving his engine, squealing the tires a little,
acting like he's going to kick my ass. Well, again, light turns green, and
I'm in front. Red lined first, second, third (which is at this point around
80 mph). I was ahead of him the whole way. Then, as it bottle necked, I
pulled in front of him. I couldn't help but grin as I slowed back down to
65 with him on my bumper.
I definitely think this one if for the books. I was screaming out my joy
from that moment as my little V6 beat that white Z71.
Maybe you should let everyone on the DML hear about this. They'll get a
kick out of it too. And, it's a great way to forward the stance that stick
is much better than automatic.
Well, time for sleep. Later.
C. J.
