i can spin first but thats about it considering my tranny is about to shit the bed. i loose all momentum between gears. but i did break em loose at the TOP of second the other day!

1st I can light up almost at will, 2nd will spin half the gear if I shift hard from first at the rev limiter. Third is just a quick chirp and bite.

EDIT: Well, if we're talking one night occurences like TJ, I once shifted hard to second getting on a long highway on ramp and couldn't understand why the revs didn't drop like usual, they stayed right around 5500rpm. I stayed on it and all of a sudden the revs jumped to the rev limiter, so I shifted hard to third. Revs stayed high again for a few seconds seconds before coming gradually down to where they should've been before climbing normally. I realized after that I had just spun almost all of second and most of third gear. Not spun hard since I was still accelerating very quickly, but enough that the revs didn't match the speed. This was on a nice cool night night (50 degrees or so) and the car still running way fat.

i've busted 2nd loose on a nice cool night at the beach - @ 4500rpms at about 45-50ish mph - it wasn't just a little, the whole backend squirrelled around and spun the tires fully until redline.

edit: just busted second gear loose again last night - this time I was going about 50mph

I've broken them loose in 3rd, around 55-60 mph. At lot depends on your tires, road conditions, camber/contact patch. Given all the variables, I can break the tires loose on my Jeep in 5th gear

[papajetta]

on rainy night i redlined 5th, i'll never try that trick again, car stunk like gear oil for weeks

[greek88]

my tires stick .... which is a good thing, right? but smoking your tires is always fun, i'm a fan of drifting... and powerbraking, especially in an 80s volvo station wagon

I got it all out of shape in second gear last week on a nice cool morning after correcting my timing (my distributor had come loose and rotated). I had been wondering why it just didn't seem as fast for a while, then I found the loose distributor (duh).

As long as my little A-A intercooler is not heat soaked, I can break them free at will in second now .

[greek88]

i got all the way through first and second today. but the ground was wet. i can't break em loose on dry ground, except from first to second, i can chirp em for about a full second if i really try

[bmwfan2304]

when i had stock tires and everything i once broke my tires lose going into 3rd... then my back end swung out to the side and scared me half to death. but my car isn't turboed yet! so not the same thing...
