(flame suit on)

just been for a visit to me mams, and afterwards thought il go for a little drive, nowt enthusiastic, just wasting whats left in my tank before i fill up in the morning.

clear road. set of lights, just me there, cars warmed up, no 5-0 about.

bugger it.

sat at 3.5k revs, lights go green, lets see how fast this son-a-bitch go.

wow, thats the first time ive actually seen this cars 0-60, in the pouring rain, no wheelspin, it was fast. redlined first, redlined second, hit just over 60, calmed down to 40 dropped her in forth, was pleasently inspired. pootled home with a grin on my face.

the end

If you have a cap on make sure it's back to front - thats what the gap in the seat back is for lol.

Good buzz when a launch works perfectly isn't it Scared the life outa myself first time I did it as I really wasn't expecting to take off quite that quickly.

Got launch control on my sti (only found out when I got the car mapped the other month)..............keep resisting the urge to try it though. Could this be the next addition to the car COB?

I go for about 4k revs, usually get a bit of clutch smell in the cabin just to remind me not to do it too often

Thats what happens when you have a dick for a head and you get excited!!

dont think there was, sat it at 3.5k revs, dropped the clutch, give the loud pedal a hammering, and it sorta sat at around 5k revs while the car sped off, then to the redline. it was weird, but a nice weird, as the clutch on my old wrx slipped like **** and stank the cabin out. this left a little smell reminding me that if i do it too often, she'll pack up and **** off



andy

p.s. - pslewis, i suppose thats as tolerant as your gonna get so il appreciate your comment
