Default I just got an SS.
Hi everyone. I just got a black/tan 2000 SS convertible today! It's my first manual transmission, so I won't be able to really have fun with it for a while, but I'm picking it up pretty quickly. The point is it's in the garage, and it's beautiful, and I love it! Anybody have any tips for learning stick?

Bring the rpm's up to like 3500 rpms and QUICKLY let your foot off the gas and make sure the TCS is disengaged....
