My quickest timed 0-100kmph was 5.7 ..

Cold tyres & wet road.

I just let the clutch out normaly and booted it.

Wheelspin in 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

700, 800. I just eased the clutch up and then booted it.

when she started sliding sideways and hitting the limiter, I changed up a gear.

Be careful, take off can be a funny business I tried side stepping the clutch with about 4k dialled in and got the aroma of cooking clutch as I crawlled away from the lights (it was on a slight uphill in the dry).

I've not tried it since it got dry and my re-map.

0-60 isn't what this car does well or what it's about.

0-60 is left for the 4x4 boys in their skylines, scoobies and evos.

To dump the clutch at revs you need to do the following.

get the car into the vtec rev range
lift the clutch gently to the biting point
side step the clutch

the wheels will break free and you'll not drop out of the powerband.

dumping at 4k doesn't nothing really, as you are not up where the power is.
