I tried this the other day when my friend wanted to have a race (from a stop) - is this a bad idea? I can launch from about 3200rpm doing this, but I won't do it again. Or can I without major damage?
What do you guys reckon? Prelude VTi-R SportShift (Base Model in US Spec) versus a 5 speed '92 Celica - I've got way more horsepower (147kw versus 100kw) - but he always gets two lengths off the line. (Forgive us, we're 16 year old highschool students!)
Does anyone know why stock 5 speed Preludes in Australia do 0-100 km p/h in about 7.7 seconds, when you guys in the US are doing it a second quicker? The horsepower ratings are the same. What other reasons could there be? It seems that all Japanese cars have slower times in Australia than the US, but cars such as Porsches and Ferraris have the same times listed. Do we get detuned versions?
Thanks,
