I get aggressive on this one intersection when Im behind other cars waiting for the light to turn green and go though the sweeping right. I usually get on it pretty good and go to 2nd halfway through the turn grabbing the open free lane. Im pretty much hauling *** by the time I complete it.

How does anything you just said address the fact that shifting in a turn upsets the car and you should do it before or after the turn? I thought you had track experience?

That said, I would hope he's not anywhere near the traction limit on the streets when performing this maneuver.

Edit: Come to think of it, when I had the 370, I did NOT upshift through this turn, it was a manual and I generally held 2nd cuz it revs higher than my Genesis. Last edited by Firebase99; 10-17-2014 at 07:51 AM. |
