thanks! more to come in the future.

So to get fastest times, do we shift at 2-3k rpm or at the higher 5-6k?
Anyone done a comparision?

Yes you would definitely need to shift near the redline which is around 5000 +. Cause that's when the car gets all the horses and torque :v . Also you hear the supercharger workings it *** off and it just sounds great. I also noticed you can't really rev the engine up too high in idle, thought i'm pretty sure once u put it into first with the clutch down you can rev it up all the way. Cept 1 thing i noticed is if u try dropping the clutch with the rpm's above 4000 or so, the car just won't let you drop it... kinda of a nice safety feature i think. I have a digital video camera, and I can hook it up to my computer... so uhm i think i'm gonna bust it out n try to see what i can do with it. I've been able to do some pretty sick burnouts lately, but i'd need a friend to help me out with that..

see if your camera will fit between the passenger headrest and the seat, thats a great place to mount it. if you have a tripod you can just set it up on the side of the road or you could always do my trick and set the camera on a guard rail and aim it at the road!

Yeah you cant redline the car when its not moving. I dont remember where it wont let you go past but it was around the 3-4k mark.
