    thrash your car do it right, go try it its nuts. not so much fun on a 6 cylinder as it only is enough to launch the car, then it has to change into second. doing it on the v8 is fun

    you have the diff gears which would put you out of the game anyway... i do it on stock v6's and v8's and work a treat and yes it puts excess starain on the motor/trans but its accelerating as fast as you possibly can versus just putting the foot down in drive... a v6 will knacker a v8 if you do this and they simply plant it done it many times in my old v6's its just a way to get 100% acceleration from your setup (using 3.08;s of course) il soon find out what the diff gears are capable of..

    mine doesn't switch @65, i have hit 70 but switch it up manually. wouldn't have to go any higher then that.

    yeh trans are pricey, the auto died @200,000kms (i had only driven ~10,000kms in the car), cost 1.3k in total for a 2nd hand auto, new trans oil and filter + labor.

    yeh only my left wheel spins but still not wise to floor it.
    You're probably wondering where you are. I'll tell you where you might be. You might be in the room that you die in. This is your wake up call.
