The secret of acceleration

[clandestine]

I would like to know exactly how you accelerate in your car.

Generally speaking I lightly pump the accerlation peddle and as soon as it hits the 3k rev mark change up a gear.

How do you guys do it?

[rmagictastic]

eeehhh???  i floor it and when it beeps at me at around 7500 i change gear???

or have i mis-understood??

Nope I think you got the point but I didn\'t think the turbo worked as well if you put the pedal to the metal!

yeah foot down - beeeeeeeep change gear - same again!

if i drove calmly i take it to around 4k in each gear lol but to hammer it, redline every time till i run out of road

If wont start pulling till 3k lol

Im lost, if you change gear from say 2nd to 3rd at 3000rpm, your turbo will never be working

Well, it will, but not to it\'s fullest capacity. Nowhere near

on a private road,when the rotors are bouncing against the housings i change gear, but normaly redline it if poss.

[clandestine]

hmm that\'s interesting....everything seems to kick in at 3K...but maybe it doesn\'t...maybe its just the preparation to the ultra-kick in that i\'ve been missing!

It\'ll be barely in, it will start at approx 2500 and your missing all the fun

Wide open throttle is the way forward :yes Just make sure you are in the right gear and you cant go wrong

[interloper393]

when the backend kicks out change gear :3gears-lh :Hammer :rollin :mmmm :driving :evillaugh

All depends on the setup your running.

I blip the throttle a couple of times before driving away, just to get that turbo spinning a bit.
