Actually, this is not BS....when I first wound it out to 8000 in 2nd I had the windows down and the build up of air pressure in the cabin damn near popped my ears!!
Second that!!! Actually attemted to do a Launch the other day. Did everything right up until I let go of the lever and then for some reason I ended up in a cloud of tire smoke. Was fun, but I was looking for a little more forward movement..... I think it was becasue I hesitated when I first put my foot on the throtle but the revs still sat at about 5500rpm when it was fully depressed so thought everything was ok, but I let the gear chabge lever go and all I felt apart from a shit load of engine noise was the rear end moving to one side and alot of smoke in the rear vision. Will have to have another attempt soon.
