[QUOTE="ex-PJs snake, post: 4334928, member: 45229"] That is seriously awesome and definately a fainthearted moment and feeling. I once hit 7000 in 3rd gear during a shift (wasn't paying attention) and nearly had a shit that I had not experienced since my combat during the 1st Gulf War. What happened was that I had my dentist friend with me and we were testing some varying sparkplugs and upon pulling out his driveway, I gunned it as if I was street racing. Well, I had gotten to 3rd and soon after went to shift to 4th when I heard a large POP! I looked at my dentist friend and he grinned and said, "Dude, you know you just shifted at near 7000+, NOT good! *he was grinning his ass off the whole time being he IS the drag racer and not me* Anyhow, I let off the gas, downshifted to 3rd and re-accelerated...to nothingness. The car would rev but not engage. End result was I thought I had blown the motor, being I did a near 7000+ shift. I coasted the car to a stop. for the car had shut off. I hit the parking brake, hit the hood pins, and started looking for the bad news....I figured the worst: busted belt, blown motor, etc. Once we quickly determined the problem, we looked at each other and laughed, though I was on step from literally shitting on my self....I had blown a power pipe clamp off. Fixed the problem in two minutes and was back down the road. Talk about a high RPM rush. [/QUOTE]
