At the very least you are going to tag the rev limter and at the worst its goodbuy gearbox. leave the flat changing to the V8 supercars their dogbox holingers are built for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was undere the impression it doesnt.the edit allows flat changes.... have tried it a few times and it definately is quicker with the foot buried... I dont think it is good in the long term and I will not use it often.... the car went great when the foot was buried and did not seem to make any strnage noises etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember another member on this site posting up a vid of his 1/4 mile run and he was flat changing. His car was stock as well. Can't remember who it was though.
