Post Acceleration question

When u guys floor you TL's from a stop, about how long do your wheels chirp for? Is it like a quick chirp or a long peel out? Just wanted to know.

Thanks

Cool

Why do you ask? It has to do with you TCS. The TCS stops the wheels from spinning of chirpping very minimally. If you want to spin your wheels more, turn off the TCS.

Yeah, it's a very quiet chirp with the TCS on, but with TCS off it's a big peel out (very not cool), so my TCS stays on....

Thumbs down

actually i tried flooring my car once push the pedal all the way down to the floor real quick from dead stop, the result it had a delay, bout 1 second cause the engine might rev up but you cant feel it until a 1 or 2 sec b4 the tranny starts buildin the speed, then the front end picked up i had to torque steer i hear the tires chirpin for at least 2to3 sec. and then and then and then there i go......
p.s. dont do it not worth the feel tl-p dont have that speed feel, thas why they made a type-s so you can just abuse the hell out of the car
my nickel
