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

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.

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

There's a lot of factors that contribute to tire spin, such as tire pressure, tire temperature, ambient temp, road temp, road composition, tire composition, etc...You may have just got lucky and encountered "perfect" driving conditions :-P

Turning VDC off got me to chirp 2nd. Adding an intake and exhaust lets me chirp 3rd now.

Yesterday, I chirped the tires going into 2nd with the VDC on. I don't even want to know what it would be like with it turned off...lol
