Wheel Hop!

I have to disagree with you on the G being more for the road course than the drag strip though - I think it is like most cars where it is equally good on either with the proper set up.
Actually.. I don't think it's that good a road course car either.. too bulky and heavy..
more of a capable comfortable cruiser for the street.. a sophisticated hotrod..

I've seen in some thread that the ECU cuts rpm if u exceed some limit (sorry - can't remember details) ... I *think* <3k should be fine ... but I can't test my theory !

On the other hand, I have left tire marks with it for almost 3/4 of 1st gear, that is if I let go of the gas right when the wheels start spinning (seems like as long as speed is not 0, the spinning is allowed with VDC off).

I own a 5AT and was at a light, had the VDC off, put it in DS -> 1st... did a power brake and the car started spinning for 1 sec and all of a suddent it STOPPED, it was like I was not on the gas at all... RPMs dropped and stayed at 1000, the guy behind me (who though I'm going for it) almost ran into me. Seems like autos can't do it quiet like you 6MT guys.
