That will help slow-dropping revs caused by inertia. Rev hang is non-dropping revs caused by the computer keeping the throttle or IAC open.

thats horrible, how would you get rid of that?

Please tell these slushie drivers to come to Australia, people around here take 5 minutes to accelerate to the speed limit, usually I'm the one gunning it so I don't have to be stuck behind someone going 40kph in a 80kph zone. I accelerate faster than some people here by shifting at 2500RPM with 1/...

exhibition of speed lol..

"it is illegal to demonstrate the capabilities of your vehicle, due to the dull masses of slushy drivers who would be jealous and cause economical upheaval and rebellion"

what?

to truly be able to predict exactly how 2 cars will behave in a race compared to each other you must know: engine torque/power curve, curb weight, driver weight, end gear ratio for each gear, transmission loss of each car, and to some extent its aero dynamics. first you have to facotr in transmissi...

oh yea not to mention turbo lag, which completely changes the shape of a given torque curve.

Really? i dont read enough magazines lol. i thought 0-60 and 1/4 mile times were the most common tests. in the end, power figures, torque figures, 0-60 times, weight, gear ratios, none of them can really predict how one car will perform compared to another. they give a rough idea of how it should t...

alot of posted 0-60 times are done with hard launches. the launch makes or breaks that 0-60 time, so drivers skill factrs much more than performance, as well as the drivetrain layout (FWD, AWD or RWD) and the grip of the tires, suspension layout etc. if you wanted to isolate comparing the performan...

why would ford build a car with a gearbox that cant handle the amount of torque being put through it?

oh ford.

I post helpful advice. That, and I've been very civil. If you think I'm too proud or something, that's your problem. You both have your dicks hard over it, and have ever since I started posting here tonight. If it looks like I'm posting on any "active topic" its because I'm going to each ...

wait the one who doesnt need to go around raping every recently active topic with his inputs on his stick driving greatness is the insecure one? half the things in you bring up in your posts arent even relevant to the discussion brought up jsut to try and secure 2 seconds of internet points so you c...

Sticks have a major weakness, like I think I already said in this thread (or some other). Automatics have more torque multiplication at lower RPMs and therefore take off faster from lights. That's funny because I have no problem getting out in front of those pesky V8 truck/SUV drivers (that you men...

Shadow and Sonichks have chemistry it seems

I have an abnormal way of parking, probably because of a habit I picked up from my turbo days... 1. Stop the car with brakes. 2. Shift to neutral, release clutch (if necessary). 3. Pull handbrake and release brakes. 4. Gather my things, turn down the radio, whatever. 5. Turn off car. 6. Shift to 1s...

for mainstream cars though, manual will still be the option for performance. the gearbox in a manual can handle alot more power from modifications without breaking because of its simple design. even today, performance trims of a particular car will be offered only in manual. mainstream doesnot apply...
