Your GP is electronically controlled... as such, you can shift into first, floor it, and never worry about over-revving the engine. It will shift when your tach gets into the yellow/orange area. Neat feature. Granny did the same. Didn't make her any faster, but it still sounded cool!

I'm talking about Cara here, but I researched some on Granny, as well.. I never got around to doing anything w/ Granny, b/c it was the wife's car, and she'd never use it.

I gave Granny to my Father last week because my Wife has the Saturn now, and he needed a spare... no point in making him buy a new to him car when I had an extra, right?
