why does it do this?

HITLIST · 09-18-2009, 10:39 AM

ok i have tried to show off when i first got my car and tried to launch at around 4500 no higher and then went to shift into second and when it did it just acted funny as hell, it went into like a limp mode is it becaus of a safety feature they may have installed to save the clutch or can the cluthc not handle that? and yes i know and never will try to launch that hard but just that one time worries me. thanks!

Umm...was your traction control off? Because when its on, it does this funny little thing to keep you from dying.

Wow! Why so hard on the car when you first got it?Not even broke in!
Being worried when you abuse the car?
Take the time to grow up and not be so foolish!
Did you over rev when you launched as the tires were spinning?

... While I do think he was foolish for launching the car before he knew the limits of it from driving it around... He is certainly not foolish for driving the car hard before break in... there are MANY schools of thought on this and I can tell you I redlined my car once every day for the first 2k miles... You should have seen all the crap after my first oil change that came out w/ the oil...

The part I put in bold above -- I just want to make sure I understand -- are you saying that as a positive? i.e., that it's a good thing for a bunch of crap to come out with your oil? If so, can you elaborate on why it's a positive?

Well I own a Z and sure as hell wouldn't launch it as a drag car?I bought the car because it is a sports car.Not a drag car.I have a drag car and sure wouldn't think of abusing my Z in the manor you have from day one and my opinion is you are a jerk.Immature jerk at a that!
Not only are you the above but you have contradicted yourself by first saying you showed off with you new Z and second post said it wasn"t new and already was broken in and now you say it had 15 miles on it???
Which is it dude?Do you really know what you are talking about at all?

I have no stake in the matter here...but why do you care how he drives his car? Just curious as to what the mindset is here. Just wondering.

If you re read your post it states "when I first got my car"!Also with your post it states you drive an 09 Z? So with the Z being fairly new most would assume you got a new Z!
Thats how I took your post and that was my reply.
So you are saying that it was a used 09 Z with 10,000 miles on it?
At any rate you did state you were "showing off when you first got the car"!
Not exactly the smartest thing to be doing in my opinion!Shows a little immaturity don't you think?
