gn-it&rn-it-

Based on your post that you deleted after it appeared in my email, apparently you did not see the joke in my last post. No one was insulting you. We did "get it straight"- you told us that you shifted your AT into gear while at high rev's in neutral, TWICE. But in your "secret" deleted post, you claimed that you don't do any of this stupid stuff, and don't deserve to be insulted by strangers. Again, no insult intended. Maybe Santa will bring you a sense of humor. Merry (if possible) Christmas!

Your buddy,
Dave

I disagree, because the fit has so little torque, therefore the damage is actually less than if you drag raced a mustang. A mustang is also heavier, and you want to rev higher and use more of the already-huge amount of torque you have, since you won't spin out. Because the fit is light, in order to not spin out, fit launches at much less than at its peak torque 103lb*ft at 4800 rpm. It might launch at say 3000rpm, which I'd estimate is about 60lbft torque.

60lb of torque.....wow thats horrible.....would a launch even help 1/4 times by much or would it be more for 60ft Times.
