To those with 500 hp+ gt2, tt. Do you spin in 2nd?

i was driving around and this red gt2 in montreal was cruising along side me and i told him he had a sick car he said thanks and i remember hearing him shift then like mide rpm maybe 3-4k rpms he floored it and the car went a little sideways. I was like


Now having driven other high powered cars, i know some like to spin the tires for a moment in 2nd gear. I was wondering if a stock gt2 can do that.

And how about Shank with his modded gt2, is it controllable or is it all over the place?


Thanks.

Oh and i raced a dark blue turbo once with Fikse wheels and i was in a supercharged z06 and that turbo left us like i was his red headed stepchild , what the hell was in that thing?

Realisticly, you would hear a short chirp. Besides, if you are spilling your wheels, you are wasting power.

true, but sometimes you can't control it right? how about your car, even with awd, how does it handle the power?

ara,

It was useless in first and second without the nitrous. That was one of the purposes for the 275 and 335 tires in conjunction with stretching first and second gear ratio's and adding the 1000 hp clutch.

Won't be spinning much rubber, but she will be extremely fast.
Most of the time when you are spinning tires or sliding, you are losing time.

hey CJV, where are you located? in Cali? if so next time i pop into california you mind if i check the car out? Oh and spinning the tires is useless unless you're showing off, case in point my cousin's supercharged z06 ran 122 in the quarter while spinning through 3rd, but from a roll on the highway he kept up with a 127 corvette that ran with slicks in the 1/4 whereas my cousin ran street tires.

The car is located in California, near San Francisco. If you care to see the car, let me know. It can be arranged easily.
