Manual: first gear, clutch in & full throttle - engine will spin up to 3,000 RPM. Release clutch & enjoy the ride. Automatic: Trans in neutral & full throttle - engine will spin up to 3,000 RPM. Pull trans into D & enjoy the ride. Both versions: traction control intervenes & prevents massive tyre smoking & hopefully, no drivetrain damage. I wouldn't do it too often, as the diff mounting bushes will eventually fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to use PCMTec to do this and it needs to be set up a little differently, due to the trans having load in gear vs the manual working in neutral. Haha I do not recommend revving your car and slamming it into drive, however much maximum respect you gain from doing so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
