I can't chirp the tires going into 2nd gear...

Does that mean I suck?

I used to be able to chirp the tires going from 1st to 2nd on my 350, but I can't do it with the 370. Am I the only one?

I'm starting to think that maybe because I've been ignoring the normal break in guidelines, that the engine's performance might be suffering. That would suck.

no it just means you have VDC on or you have proper traction. It's been really warm lately on long island so you are less likely to hear any "chirp" between shifts.

I was next to a friend of mine at a traffic light, he was in like a 1990 Dodge Shadow with 200K on it. I figured I'd accelerate with some pep and not like granny for once, so I did. He blew my doors off accelerate wise cause the VDC kicked in and bogged me down to nothing. VDC- Is both a blessing and a curse

dont lift off your gas pedal when you shift and power shift into 2nd. see if your MT breaks.

Red370 · 04-07-2010, 07:24 PM

Agreed, turn your traction control off, I chirp in 3rd pretty easily.

Just do like that commercial on TV, qbout SRM or whatever. He had to make the shifting noise for his girl, you can make the chirp noise for yourself.

Joe- you can't have enough miles to be driving like that already!! Guess you spoke with Vinny already.

I haven't managed to chirp or squeel tires in any gear yet, even with VDC off. I think it's because I'm a chicken-****.

Well, you are a bit modded. But I have also chirpped into 3rd on occasion with my stock Z.

I know! But can anyone who has a Z actually go the first 1200 miles driving like an old lady? I'm really hoping that the "break in period" is an urban myth!

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!
