What tire pressure are you talking, like 38-40? yes you can go around the water. you can watch, most of the "pros" will go around the box, then back up into it so only the rears get wet. and pressure wise, yeah 40 would be fine. check your tires what the max pressure is and go little below that....

What RPMs was your launch / shifting done @? I shifted the OBS @ redline the day I tracked it when it was N/A & later realized I should have short shifted for better times...

Best advice: don't be a pussy! Seriously, its harder to break your tranny than you'd think. Launch around 3500-4k... ease your foot off the clutch until you can feel it grab, and then let off as fast as you can. You're at 5000', right? Anything under 16 seconds would be impressive. __________________ Now blogging on Examiner.com

What was your 1/8th mile time?

buy a sti

last night i ran two miles in about twenty minutes. not bad for my fat ass seeing as i haven't ran in about three months. i actually feel really good tonight so i'm gonna go run again in an hour or so...... oh waitaminutewhat the hell... __________________ yo momma's got more clap than an auditorium...

I used to redline drop the clutch on my RS ....no seriously. I ran a 15.00 at 87mph __________________ Cones are like puppies without hearts; try to steer around them all. Go AutoX.

Something small I've always done, I even catch myself doing it at stop lights. Shift from 1st to 2nd to 3rd then back down to 2nd and lastly 1st, lines up the synchros a bit to make it easier when shifting. __________________ Black on black on bronze L
