The other day the roads were empty and my curiosity got the best of me. So I stopped on a level surface, held the brake with my left foot while bringing the revs to 3K rpm to get the turbo spun up. I let off the brake and at the same time buried the throttle. The rear tires spun for about a second or so then it hooked up, milliseconds later it hit second gear and chirped the rear tires. I was like no way while laughing to myself. So I did it again to make sure it wasn't a one off fluke, it did the exact same thing....lol...this was in sport mode with traction control turned off...... Now I really love Big Red as we call her. I know I'm such a kid at heart but that was cool as hell.... Has anyone else tried this? You wouldn't believe how fast these 2.3L engines are. It boggles my mind.... So let me tell you the behind the scenes stuff. 93 octane, Sport mode, traction control off. Then let her rip....
