I would suggest an off the shoulder black strapless with a nice 2-3" red heel. Just a thought. You've got to have the legs to pull off those pumps though.

I think experimenting is part of the fun. Some ppl like launching in Vtec territory.

7-7,500rpm, drop it (the clutch - not the slinky black number ) fast.

That's all you need to know.

agreed, experimenting for yourself is half the fun, but i'd start off at 3K, and then 4K, and work your way up to 8K. you'll find out where is best for you...

7500rpm got me 0-60 in 5.4 (G-tech)

I'm sure it can be quicker but I only tried 3 times, first at idle then progressively higher.
