its when the car basically takes all the hard part out of launching quickly. it allows you to floor the throttle and it holds at a certain rpm. then you can sidestep the clutch and it will allow a controlled wheelspin by cutting the torque. i think its only on m6 ss.

Picked SSMAUG up after the beast had plastic surgery to repair the frontend damage I got on the way to C5Fest.... (new frontend) Excellent repair job and perfect IOM paint match ! Phew !

Widening the driveway so it has somewhere to sit while I detail and admire it. This is a shot taken a few hours before pour with more prep work to do.

Not today but on Tuesday I installed the Maggie. Today I'm going to reroute the heater hoses to get rid of a kink in one and then wash the car.

Today I took her to the wash for a good detail minus a complete wax job. Just waxed her last month (so now every other wash I just use some quick spray wax to maintain and enhance the shine) so I used Lucas Slick Mist to maintain.

Got in the wheels real good, not a spec of brake dust anywhere in the rims.

I love slick mist! It makes drying so much faster and leaves a great shine

Arabiannite · 04-30-2010, 08:29 PM

^ agreed. Slick mist is some nice stuff, shines alot better after you give it a while to set.

If you like Slick mist, try Mother's FX spray wax too, that stuff gives the car a nice bright shine too (maybe even a little more than slick mist), I find both products to be a bit better than Meguiars Ultimate Quick Wax.

Darth_Emma · 04-30-2010, 08:33 PM

If you like that, try Adam's Detail Spray! I love it and it smells great.

JEFF2010SSMANUAL · 04-30-2010, 08:35 PM

I switched from my OEM Midnight silver wheels to a set of used polished wheels. They go better with the white stripes. That was enough, plus a TORNADO is coming.

CloudXTC · 04-30-2010, 08:41 PM

washed, dried, zaino'd, kissed.

Took all three of our SS's to dinner and stared at them for a good 30mins.

Came home and washed mine completely for prep to go to the beach tomorrow morning bright and early.
