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

Geez, Monty, I've lost what little respect I had for you

j/k, man. Next time rev it to 3500 rpm, drop the clutch and you'll smoke all those bad boyz in their Dodge Shadows.

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

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

Are your tires made of plastic? Second chirps pretty hard for me, to where I get a very good lurch forward, but third gear? Maybe by the time I hit 65mph in second I'm too paranoid about cops to focus on shifting right...

I drag twice a month, I launch at 3k usually, once I hook up, its already time to shift to 2nd, i usually spin and fishtail for a half second or so, then I shift hard into 3rd and chirp like a mother, give your car some throttle and shift fast and properly, you'll chirp in 3rd, but you might need some more mods first.
