With the amount of time it takes you to shift doing that, how can you beat anybody? The tranny already has some lag to it when it shifts. Besides, why would you knowingly hurt your tranny (and your axles), especially with the way our cars are? Does not sound too good at all to me. Just my opinion, but I know a lot of people out there agree with me.

very bad idea. i hope you are under warranty and don't tell the dealer of your shenanigans. extra boost? it takes more time to shift to neutral and drop it back to d5 than it takes to just mash the pedal and go.

I think people to that in a manual, but never heard of that in an auto. Our trannies are fragile enough. Putting undue stress on them is not such a good idea, unless you are trying to do something to it before the warranty expires to get a new tranny. Wouldn't reccomend that type of fraud either.

I do it all the time... with cars I'm driving to the junkyard 
You really need to get it going at a good speed in reverse first, then drop it into first...

I think its the torque factor, that people think our car lacks. Its probably the jump in MPH over a 2 second span, as compared to just regular down shifting.
I can't lie though, kinda like GreenMonster said, I do this all the time too. But with me, I get rental cars all the time for my job, and I put a beating on those bad boys.
PS. No one buy a GMC Envoy from Alamo, I think I destroyed that car 6 months ago in New York.

I try to treat any rental or loaner like I would my own car.

why didn't I think of this? It sounds like it'd be a lotta fun listening to yer tranny self-destruct due to complete fucking idiocy
While you're at it Vince, why don't you post up your VIN so Acura has a record?

People like you make me want to sell my car. Grow up and learn to drive (and use proper sentence structure) like a civilized person.
Look at it this way guys, judging by the way he drives he wont be at this forum very long.

I can't figure out the 'boost' he's talking about, someone explain his logic. If I'm in SS and want some extra boost, I'll drop down to SS 4th or even SS 3rd to get what I want. I feel sorry for his tranny.

my brothers and I used to have a beater, dodge compact car, we all shared. everynight on the way out and home and going just about anywhere, we would regularly put it in neutral, floor it to red line, then put it in drive. what a blast that was. parking brake, we did it all the time. we ended up destrying two whole transmissions in about 40,000 miles. I think we also went through two sets of tires. we ended up blowing the motor. those were the days!
Seriously, dont do that.
going in reverse at 30+mph and cutting the wheel is fun in a large open field too.
But you shouldnt do that either.

Ok, before this starts getting any worst, Imma Gonna Lock it up 
Just so you guys know, there's a line in the Acurazine TOS (terms of service) that you agreed to when you joined that said the moderators can ban you for stupidity (starting stupid threads, etc).
Some of you should really read the fine print on those things
