Rolling start...5mph we both barked the tires...by 85mph he had one car length as he barked shifting into third. Any body else had this lovely experiance....

 

i doubt it....

 

too bad you doubt it...guess you had to be there.

 

r u 5spd or auto?

 

2nd took him to 85 ?

did I read that right ?

 

2nd will not take you to 85 in an RSX-S, but yes you read it right. I have chirped third in an RSX but not shifting at 85, that's impossible.

 

hrmm........hittin 85 in a 5spd on 2nd gear........doesnt sound right

 

Gee what tipped you off to that? I doubt thats what he was saying.

What the hell is with people "doubting" that a car can chirp third gear? I can chirp 3rd in my sisters stock honda civic DX when she has her snow tires on. Wheelspin has nothing to do with power.

 

hmmmm, I'll bite, What does it have to do with?

 

Isnt RSX-s a 6 spd? But even then the gears would be shorter, so 3rd prolly barely ends in third, I've actually seen a Maxima chirp third, so yeah, wheel spin is easy if u knmow how to do it.

 

Basically how crappy your tires are and how quickly you can release the clutch. A close ratio 6 speed doesn't hurt either.

 

I get rubber into third all the time...it's called an ACT clutch
