I can't chirp the tires going into 2nd gear...

AK370Z · 04-07-2010, 08:37 PM

VDC = OFF
Gas Pedal = To the Metal.

Hope this helps

I did speak with Vinny! Getting the toys put in this Saturday. Damn these boards...if it wasn't for all these nicely modded Z's I would have been just as happy keeping the car stock!

And you dont need too, drive the car.

Are your tires made of plastic? Second chirps pretty hard for me, to where I get a very good lurch forward, but third gear? Maybe by the time I hit 65mph in second I'm too paranoid about cops to focus on shifting right...

I drag twice a month, I launch at 3k usually, once I hook up, its already time to shift to 2nd, i usually spin and fishtail for a half second or so, then I shift hard into 3rd and chirp like a mother, give your car some throttle and shift fast and properly, you'll chirp in 3rd, but you might need some more mods first.

Break in period is a myth. I reamed the piss out of my Z off the lot. Still do, it pulls stronger than ever too. Trust me, I'm a mechanical engineer.

Geez, Monty, I've lost what little respect I had for you

j/k, man. Next time rev it to 3500 rpm, drop the clutch and you'll smoke all those bad boyz in their Dodge Shadows.

heh i chirped 3rd in my A7 last week shifting in manual mode

shabarivas · 04-08-2010, 12:17 PM

I constantly chirp 1-> 2 and 2->3 and I almost never turn off VDC

chitown1863 · 04-08-2010, 12:35 PM

The Z is one of the easiest cars that I have ever chirped...it will do 3rd without even trying...I love my car lol

Matt · 04-10-2010, 02:50 PM

Late last night, I turned VDC off as I turned onto an empty highway. I gunned it up to around 70 (the speed limit) red-lining both from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. No chirping, no riding the clutch.

I must suck at spirited driving.

Okay...maybe a little fun.

Mind you, I don't personally care about spinning tired...I'd rather not, to be honest. Burn-outs and chirping tires aren't my thing, so I appreciate VDC for the most part. But all this talk of how easy it should be makes me sad.

kenchan · 04-10-2010, 03:25 PM

Make sure you listen carefully to the front tires because that's where all the chirpinage comes from.
