Hello Guys Great Forum!
My name is Johnny and i am very impressed with my luxury rocket.
I couldent beleive the hp in this 94 sts when i drove it.
I have a slight jump in the car when i start it up and sometimes i hear what sounds like a block knock upon starting the car. ( if you ever heard that term lol).
I have had a new flywheel put in from manually shifting from first to second, i liked the cherp from time to time.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

God Bless

Sounds to me like your transmission is screwed up. Banging gears is not a good idea. If you want to shift yourself, get a manual or an auto trans with sport shift.

:welcome: to the Forum Minty:D :bouncy: :yup:

Got a Hot Rod STS there, huh.:) You say flywheel..did you mean a torque convertor? It's an automatic, right?

Thanks for the warm welcome folks.

I have to go through the 10 thousand dollars in repair bills i have.
To make sure i know what the heck im talking about.
My next question to you folks is, does the avarage mustang pulling up next to me realize that i am about to blow him off the line???
I seem to get alot of Chevy Impala SS'es and Mercury Merauders trying to pull away from me here on the streets of Brooklyn Ny.
I havent lost from Light to Light yet.I know it sounds Juvenile but i cant help it.
My sts packs quite a punch from a dead stop and i always wondered if there were any extras on my car considering.
Every young person with a rice rocket that sounds like a low flying small engine plane, i seem to leave in the dust.
I know there are exceptions.
Please note in my youth i owned 2 1987 Buick Grand Nationals that were my prize possessions so i know what hp feels like from the get go.

God Bless& Thanks Again,
Johnny Bklyn

Johnny,

I don't think your FWD STS will get the jump on these bad boys.:lildevil:

Maybe Not but the Buick Grand National 6 cyl will destroy it of the line.

(9 sec baby)
Anyway your right about the new Mustang but im talking about the old 5.0..

I was never a ford fan to be honest but that new mustang is very sexy i must say.

I'm anti-Ford myself. I have a '72 Red Corvette convertible. Beautiful but a real dog.
