SkYBlue280Z Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Sadly, my Z is an automatic..... But yeah, I love it anyways. To the point, I heard a good way to launch from a drag in an automatic Z is to first put it into gear 1. Then when its about to red-line you take the foot off the gas and shift it into gear 2. Then when that red-lines you put it into drive. I mean, I did it and you really do get a better start then you would in drive since it down shifts automatically. But i also heard its very bad for your car. Some advice please. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know what the stall speed is for our cars but if you were able to get it close to redline that could be bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
