Maybe I just never grew up...and at 54 I probably never will... but at least once every time I drive my GT the OD + traction control are turned off and I light up the tires hitting redline in at least the first two gears.

 

moving over to the GT Tech and Performance section.

Ya, it is fun until the rev limiter kicks in, then everyone watching thinks you are an idiot [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]

 

i agree....the rev limiter is set too low. it seems like right as it is coming alive you start bouncing off the rev limiter.

Could be me...that's where I buy my Jack and Bud [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

Ever use the dead end road that goes south from the junction of Grimmer and Old Warm Springs Blvd? Good for a quick run now and then.

I used to all the time! We called it the donut court!

Not anymore though! I try to keep it at the drag strip, but Mission Blvd and Automall can be quite tempting!!!

Great post! I've been doing the same thing since I was 15. You really never get it out of your system. I'm 51 and intend to light em till the day I die.
