How many gears do you think people will be able to chirp in the SS. I am thinking 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Do you think its possible to chirp all these gears stock?

yes, easy and done already.. search youtube for videos..

The equally weighted GTO will chirp 1-4 stock and has 30-80 less hp. We have many fun 4th gear scratches ahead of us! On cold days we might be able to break them totally loose in 4th...

Nice productive post there. Post like what you just posted is what amazes me.

I would say yes, maybe not a 4th, but 1-3 should be able to. We'll find out soon enough!

I don't think it's a dumb question at all. I had a bit over 330 RWHP in my vette and couldn't chirp in 3rd gear.....maybe I just don't know how to drive

or i needed new tires, lol. The new SS shouldn't be much more than 30-40hp more than I had at the wheels....

jeffny09 · 03-04-2009, 09:13 PM

how do you chirp

UsedTaHaveA68 · 03-04-2009, 09:16 PM

My dad has a '92 GMC Z-71. About 5 years ago we put a 350hp crate engine in it with an Edelbrock MPFI intake. It's a manual, with about a 3ft long shifter, and 3.73's. I took it out racing against a few other guys in much newer trucks (yes, I was stupid...and redneck) and I was actually able to scratch 3rd in it. Granted I had to be back on the gas as I let the clutch out so I was making full power when it engaged, but I was able to do it. Everyone out there was picking their jaws off the ground.

It's all in how you drive it.

Scratching 4th though? I doubt it. I think in the Camaro, you're already doing over 100mph when you shift into 4th.

The rear tires chirp when up-shifting. Torque city.

Tire "chirp" gear to gear.

1st, 2nd, 3rd won't be an issue. Anything above that probably will be difficult with the meat in the rear.

Manual transmissions prove you can do more than one thing at a time 6. You can't drift in an auto 5. You can't pull fancy moves in an automatic 4. You get better fuel economy with a stick 3.
