Racing with a bad 5th gear synchro sucks! (Killed a Dodge charger R/T too.)

Racing with a bad 5th gear synchro sucks! (Killed a Dodge charger R/T too.)

I was cruising home on 280 South and saw a new Dodge Charger w/ a red R/T on it. I decided to catch up to him since he looked like he was having some fun doing 90+MPH. I caught up to him and he hit the gas at around 90 mph. I just dropped it into 4th and quickly put him two to three car lengths behind me. I was at the the top of 4th doing around 125-130 mph when I forgot that my 5th gear synchro was dead and fully grinded the gears while trying to to shift to fifth. Damn. I gotta get that fixed.

Dude, the poor guy in the Charger probably thought he just got raped by some dude who has no idea how to drive a manual when he heard the gears grinding.
