Just 1500 more RPM to go... and five more gears

There's a reason why our speedometers go to 150

Zabo · 05-16-2012, 02:38 PM

Tried it again a bit ago from work, 1st-4th rolling start. Shifts at 4800ish because I realized once it spun up that high I was gonna run out of room to brake..

Think it was close to 1/4 mile I'll have to google map the stretch but she was at 103 by the end. Took a bit long to wind to that 4800 though.. Car quite literally had a feedback feel of:

1st: "Dafuq!?"
2nd: "Woa-"
3rd: "AWW YEAH-"
4th: "LEEERROOOOOYY JEEEEEEENNNNKIIINNNSSS!!!!"

Ok Zabo, I was thinking about you. Yes, during my normal life, I thought about you. My wife and I went for a drive, and on the way home I said "hey, record me shifting!" so that I could share with you how to beat on your car.

This is just a quick roll out of a parking lot (5mph?), side-step the clutch (1500rpm?), and run to 110. You'll notice I paddled the gas a little at the top of first due to spinning.

but.. Awkward?

TC on, off, or "what's TC?"?

TC off because it was dry/warm enough to get the stoplight rubber build up tacky. Wound her to 5400 then 4900 the other three gears before I had to dump it in neutral to yay school bus dodge.

Note to others, do not try with a 24oz cup o joe in the cup holder:

No spills obviously but damn was it hard..

Also mounts:

I'm lucky enough not to even have TC. My others had it, but habit was to turn it off after starting the car

Traction control is a nanny for those who cant drive. The second thing I do after turn the car on.

I need to get the harness that inverts the switch command to turn on TCS with the button, not off..

And it is really shitty on the 4th gens. I don't turn it off when I get in, because it's not that often it's needed anyway.
