Oh God! Totally turn off the ESP if you're gonna Launch.hobouncer said:so what should i rev up to before a race then? i do keep my foot of the clutch . and i do take the esp off .
You do know that he used to be (or still is) a professional driving instructor, dont you?JimmyP21 said:No offense PMAZ but it really sounds like you have no idea what your talking about.
im guessing you cant read or just to dumb to understand the initial post my question had nothing to do with esp at all it has to do with redlining and wheel spin you ASS as in how far is to far to stay in the redline AND there is no burnt clutch smell just rubber my clutch is fineGranTurismoInjection said:Hahahaha, he had his ESP on! What a n00bface!
*turns his ESP off while nobody is looking*
Offense taken... I had no idea we had a know-it-all on here. You should definitely consider yourself outside the "retard repliers". Please, bestow upon us all your wisdom. I know nothing.JimmyP21 said:Dude, If i leave ESP on and drop the clutch, the engine is instantly retarded. In otherwords, you drop the clutch with ESP on, and all that happens is the RPMS drop to 1500 and its like your not even hitting the gas. I've done this on several ocassions, thinking i hit the ESP off.PMAZ said:You might be destroying your clutch... Always make sure you come completely off the clutch. I doubt it is this, but I've seen brand new clutches destroyed in 30miles of driving before. Slight wheelspin is fine when you're taking off, but if it's not wheelspin that's keeping those RPMs up, you better rethink your driving style. One thing I also see a lot is people trying to take off too fast with traction control enabled. That is a sure way to burn up your clutch and look like a complete idiot. (I just saw an episode of Criss Angel and he did just that in his Viper, he really thought he was hauling ass though but in reality he was just that much closer to a visit to the clutch shop).
So , heres what i think is happening. If the egine sounds like its staying constant at per say about 5800, which mine seems to do when droping the clutch at about 3k plus, but does not semm to go up till a second later your fine. The question is, are the rpms sticking at 65-6800, because thats the other thing with these gtis Its hard to tell if your at redline, it doesnt bounce off it like all other cars ive had. Clutch, well thats hard to say unless one of us drives in it. My guess is its getting colder out hard tires dirty roads, NO TRACTION! Keep on burnen rubber dude!. IF you clutch was burning it would smell like absolute shit the next time you stoped. if you just smell toasted rubber your golden.
No offense PMAZ but it really sounds like you have no idea what your talking about.
Try doing this again, and stop quckly thereafter and smell, If it smells just like rubber no problem besides lack of traction. You will know the smell im talking about, when it hits your nose if your clutch is burning.
Kick ass dude, the DSG sucks IMO. I love my 6 speed.
I've read numerous threads about how the DSG cant handle alot of power, but if you have the 6 speed its all good.
Hope this helps you, and weed of the retard repliers
You've got me on that question. I really don't know anything about the speed limiting thing, maybe JimmyP21 might want to chime in with their infinite knowledge... no offense (JimmyP21).hobouncer said:i have a totally diffrent question how do you know if your car is limited on the speed i see a bunch of people here say that its 130? or so does it just stay there ? or does it drop down to like 125 then back up to 130?
Insane just about sums it up.Bboy AJ said:I only wish I could drive like PMAZ.
Tell us the story again of how the F40 sounds with those turbos right next to your head! Man, what a lucky guy.

HaHaHa!!!! That is good. Seeing people write whole paragraphs with no periods or capitalization annoys the shit out of me, not to mention all the mispelled words. Are people really this dumb or do they just think it is cool to appear illiterate?I also know how to form proper sentences and capitalize shit.
what in GTI's name did he just say??hobouncer said:oh wow i didnt know i was in english class again chek out all the bad werds im writing in these paragraphs so you want to proof read it and give me a grade? ohhhh so perfect sentences!! i give you 2 thumbs up for your great skills ..................sorry dude ur i can care how things are spelled here and if you were so good at reading you might of answered the question but guess not immmmmmmmmmmmmmmm donneeeeeeee
