Nice, when the car downshifts and chirps, does the car hit the rev limiter at the end of the first gear?
My car does that from a 30 mph roll out, it chirps but most of the time (even if it is not spining) it hits the rev limiter, it seems like it doesn't shift on time to second

On the other hand my long gone 96 Impala SS sure did it off the NOS.

I'm sorry Ahmed, it's just too funny hearing that coming from you....knowing that what do you have.

But then again, what the heck do you care. Every statement is a scrutinising opportunity for you.
All i'm saying is that on a hot day (which is every f**king day here) when i down shift using the steptronic at high revs, with the ESP switched off, the car loses its back end and its quite funny actually. And when under breaking, its worse. And thats my gods honest truth. I dont think it has much to do with the engine power.. maybe it does.. but it happens all the time to me!
So franky boy... if it makes you laugh, then thats ok and i'm glad i made you laugh. But if it pisses you off then you know what to do? Find the nearest wall and.......
