I did speak with Vinny! Getting the toys put in this Saturday. Damn these boards...if it wasn't for all these nicely modded Z's I would have been just as happy keeping the car stock!

also try shifting earlier around 5500, if you have sport package you should chirp and prob kick the rear out a bit...

Just shift faster, and be quicker wit you feet!

I must suck at spirited driving.
There's a lot of factors that contribute to tire spin, such as tire pressure, tire temperature, ambient temp, road temp, road composition, tire composition, etc...You may have just got lucky and encountered "perfect" driving conditions :-P

Turning VDC off got me to chirp 2nd. Adding an intake and exhaust lets me chirp 3rd now.

I took my car to the track a month ago for the first time....I burnt up both first and second...I actually had to get off the throttle and then back on just so the tires would hook up. In my experience you need to be easy with the clutch to make sure the car hooks up properly.

1-2 is not a "chirp." It's a sustained spin... you can really roast the tires on a hard 1-2 shift with this car, especially if it's cool out.

Also -- one big thing that really seems to get morons in trouble with this car is shifting hard while accelerating through a corner. I guess most people don't realize what happens in a turn when you suddenly lose rear traction.

Can't get the tyres to chirp huh? I say get a Parrot and train to "chirp" just as you're changing into second, may take a while though so i suggesat you make the chirping sound just as you are going to change into second and the bird in time should follow your lead.

The VDC has split personality.......
I chirped 2nd gear pretty hard with VDC on yesterday.
