Hi guys n Girls

Was at a busy round about the other day on my way to work waiting to pull out, after a bit i got a bit pi&&ed off so thought id do a fast pull away so i built the rev's up to about 4500 and steadily released the clutch. then the car jumped forward about 2 feet then stopped and there was a pop from my exhaust. i thought **** ive snapped a drive shaft or clutch or something but i just dipped the clutch again and pulled away as normal and its been fine ever since, so what could it have been guys?

Any help would be nice cos im not much of a mechanic

Simon

Ps i didnt staul the car or anything it made a bang when it joulted forward.

Maybe your car is saying :
Please don't rev me to 4.5k and steadily release my clutch, I don't like, and I will pop if you do it ?
Just an idea
