Good point. I bet it could still smoke 'em up pretty good though

...i wonder if these guys are preloading the clutch before they launch ,and if they slip it any?

Because these are daily-drivers... and I don't want to ruin my clutch. Also... clutches work differently than torque-convertors... if you continue slipping and heating it up... it gives out.

I'm confused. Never understood that. I light them both up each time at the strip.

that's why the autos get out so good. we do have some sort of limited slip.
how the hell could i pull a 2.0 w/ one tire fire?

i don't think so.
feel free to refer to sgmotoring's video of him burning both tires off at the same time.
2 big black marks don't lie.

Every time I leave the track I pull out of the driveway of the track. Stop the car on the side street. VSA off, and just floor it WOT to get all the melted rubber, etc off the tires. I ALWAYS leave tire marks from both tires on the pavement.

I learned the hard way the first time and didn't try to do it until the next afternoon. Pain in the ass. Best to do it while it is still hot

well, now that you all have figured out the proper sizing of a turbo for the 3.2, what about us old school 3.0's? I'll be coming into a pretty decent sum of money soon, so I'd like to start gathering info.
Blue: what size turbo do tyou think the J30 should use? Same? smaller? bigger? different altogether? or do you have any idea since you haven't worked with a J30... or have you?

i was lucky enough to see the car in person, its pretty damn nice. allmotor did a great job with the install, cleaner looking than his own!
very impressive stereo setup too. we very briefly took the time to check it out, but the screens are really nice and "i aint mad at cha" never sounded so good!
props to the owner of this car, its very nice! and with the turbine, definately a sick complete package.

I'm not upset... I don't really care actually - just thought it was a ridiculous statement coming from you.
In terms of tracking my car... I probably won't for several reasons.. primarily that this is my daily-driver and the clutch situation is not good for this car. I do get carried away sometimes with my car... and trying to control that urge. Hence I never really pursued increasing boost etc. I could quite easily make a 500whp CL-S, but don't want that right now. At the same time, running 11's is quite achievable with the risk of seriously breaking something. I'd rather spend the money on my house... which I am

power3dfx: What's up? Glad you got to take a look and a listen to it! The cars got 5 screens and the LCD in the trunk is great for tailgaing. I miss it and hope to be driving her soon
