Welcome to Go Fast Nation! Around here we're all about going fast no matter the platform. Although we own a Mustang and that's the primary car on the channel at the moment, we are not a "Mustang " channel. We like all things fast and have fun tracking down fast cars to showcase and race!
Found one in a lady’s back yard. She would never sell it after asking twice over a long period of time. I came back one day to find out she sold it to a member at her church.
Very familiar with the CBBT and the HRBT as these tunnels provide for ships to come and go unhindered, especially the US Navy. The CBBT in the near future will finally be 2 lanes each way and all the way. Currently parts of it is still only 1 lane each way. The HRBT is also adding additional lanes. When they built the Monitor Merrimac(664) they should have made it 3 lanes each way. There are a number of other smaller tunnels and bridges in the area.
I’ve kinda been wondering about how the 13 speed was shifted, now I know. It’s kinda like the 15 speed shifting wise. Which I’ve never done either. I’ve only seen one being shifted. 😂
Thanks for the memories! It’s been 45+ years since driving a White freightliner cabover and I had forgotten the pattern although we clutched between main gears.
Well done. For me, the shift pattern pretty quickly became muscle memory and up-shifting relatively intuitive, downshifting, however, under varying weights and grades is far more difficult to master.
They weren’t even nice when they were new. I never got soaking money in them no offense. I got out of a Cabover in 84-85 into a classic and thought I was in heaven then started driving PACCAR and Volvo never looked back.
i imagine this tune works alot better on a manual that you can keep the revs up on when your idling... damn, bummer, i was wanting this tune pretty bad but mines also an automatic, the bogging/surging when youre creeping looks irritating :/
This is the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel HRBT. It does not span the Chesapeake Bay. The CBBT spans the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay from Chicks Beach to Fisherman’s Island on the Eastern Shore
Hey thank you my brother for taking the time to make videos like this I really appreciate it and you did an awesome job with breaking it down very explanatory it will definitely be helping me out big time this week with a new job that I'm starting I've been driving a 1984 Peterbilt with the 10-speed transmission at Tandem and a flatbed on a Freightliner Cascadia put the 10-speed transmission so I got so used to the concept of it basically almost being like a car or pick up with a manual transmission and having to shift through that first set of gears hit that splitter one time and then run through the next set of gears so it's pretty easy and simple to run a 10-speed transmission starting a new job and they have a whole Fleet of trucks some of them are automatic some of them have the 10-speed one has a 5 and a 4 and 13 and 18 speed transmissions some old school and some are brand new semis a little nervous about being thrown to the wolves but I am confident I will figure it out
.aahh... nostalgia...worked on the CBBT 14 months loog ago 1986-87. If memories serve our fleet mechanic had a new Mustang 5.0 so we take it out just for kicks. 120mph +/-. Coming out of the tunnel like getting shot out of a cannon.flamimg youth...
@GoFastNation ……. Bored ??????? No way! First timer here like you ! It was a great video. You were funny, comical, light hearted and CALM …… With a little bit of fear ! 🤪🤪 I thought it was the best video of this Bridge and Tunnel And others are great as well. But it was your narration that slayed me. If I EVER have to experience those tunnels, then I’m going to bring this/your video to calm me down !!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Nice car but to be honest thats not 425hp... A stock 302 with just heads and cam will spin the tires 1-3 gear.... Sounds and runs like it barely touching 300hp my opinion.. but its a really nice car. I like it..
That’s only the beginning of your problem. If you left Norfolk for the Eastern Shore you’ll soon discover that VDOT has put up a traffic signal every two feet. Virginia has more red lights per highway mile than any other state.
