0-70 Run Critique my driving...

czwalga00gt · 10-16-2004, 03:31 PM

I wanted to do a 0-90 run with 3rd gear... but the straight road was running out so i figure not risk anything... 70 was good enough. Just let me know what you think about my launch and shifting... Its stock btw...

launch was good, you need to learn to powershift

Just try to shift quicker, practice throwing that shifter foward as fast as you can, keeps the rpm's up and saves time, not a bad lauch though.

Yeah... powershift and you will be okay.

czwalga00gt · 10-16-2004, 06:05 PM

Yeah, well its very apparent that you guys powershift haha... ive just heard its not good for my tranny... the 01.5 trannys are much better for it.. I dunno why i just heard that... and i dont want to beat on it at all cause i dont have any money to fix anything... poor college student haha. I guess you guess think its ok doesnt hurt anything too bad... maybe ill give it a try sometime... just dont wanna screw anything up. Thanks for the advice.

Yeah, you definitely need to rape that transmission. I shift faster than that in my sleep

czwalga00gt · 10-16-2004, 09:35 PM

Yeah Yeah, i know haha... keep in mind i havent driven in 3weeks previous to that day

I know the shifting is slow... hell it took me a 15min to get used to my clutch again.

Damn, I even shift faster than that!

Yes if you want to get rid of your tranny/clutch as fast as you can, powershift, if not, just shift faster. I am definitally not a fan of powershifting. If you powershift, after a few thousand miles of it, you find that it doesnt have much of an effect anymore, which isnt good might I add. Its your car, your choice.

when you finished 1st gear I fell asleep while I was waiting for you to put it in 2nd... [8D]

That's all I can say... so Um. I'm with Joe.
