Its best you not do it. If you had a highstall torque converter there would be no reason to do it.

Yes, if you are leasing the car it is alright to do it

I feel sorry for the poor bastard that ends up with my off lease 99 altima...

It is probably the worst possible thing you could do for your car. When the tranny blows it will cost a lot more to rebuild it because you WILL break the actual metal parts in the tranny.

If you have upgraded the clutches and gotten a stronger torque converter, you will get your best launches by just brake torqueing it. A neutral drop is never good for an automatic regardless of what upgrades you have done.

Uhh.. tha twould be a bad idea. Tranmissions arent ment to be dumped on like that. That must be why my trans dropped 3 times in less then 6 months when i had my 1gen DSM.

I rent Toyota Camry

I floored with N with high rpm and move it to D. It was like bam. It didn't go fast, just normal speed. My friend and I laughed after that.

Note to self: when buying a used car, make sure that it was never used as a rental.
