strange drivers on this forum?

[bähnstormer]

after seeing all these weird questions, i'm begining to wonder
just how people drive thier cars...for example one kid said he's
never crossed 4k rpm :help

so this is just a poll, a bit of an extreme one, but it should give us
a better idea of the kind of drivers we have here....


ate should be eaten :rolleyes

I hit 6800 at least once a week with the EAT chip. :D :eyecrazy :D
I would guess that most people who post here drive somewhat enthusiastically. :cool

I don't know about donuts,but what about "diznuts"? ;)

[slocar]

i dont do donuts, but in my mind every road is a track and other cars in light traffic are like cones... i take my car up to redline and it's auto. WOT shifts rule.

[bähnstormer]

heheh yeah that's what i'm talking about!

i rev match on all my downshifts even in traffic, practicing left foot braking
on tight 90degree bends =]

[Isaracing]

I take my car to 6500 at least 5 times a day, and I love when the light goes red so I can heel toe to stop and test my reaction time to start. :)

[Skipper5]

first i'd like to say i hit 6800 at least once a day and love every breath taking second of it.

second i'd like to say i do partake in some drifting when the opportunity arises.

third i'd like to say i do throw the E39 ass around in a donut like fashion from time to time.

how about some vids you say? sure thing

Ha that was fantastic!! Man that is some serious rubber eating 528! Must be a stick, right?

I know my auto would not be able to pull a stunt like that.

I love it for the track days though, just gas and brake hehe!

If you had blown a tire, that woulda been ugly!

So what tires will you be buying now? :D

I think that kid be me. But a 1989 Auto and mostly city driving I never see past 4k really. Did I mention it was an auto :help

[slocar]

uh, auto can go over 4k too buddy. look under your gas pedal and there is like a switch under it... it's a kickdown button/switch thing. if you push the pedal down enough to push the switch it will go to redline and shift.... so yeah, it's possible.

[liquidtiger720]

i go up to 5-6k everyday =).
my 22 mile freeway commute to school lets me stretch its legs.

[JAlfredPrufrock]

I've done donuts in my car before I guess... it was at an autoX though and they called that particular portion of the course a "carousel" ... it was basically a donut though. Sometimes I get a little too aggressive on the street if there is noone around... get on the brakes late and heel-toe downshift... yeah that's pretty fun.

Can i call you Mr. D's
I dont get it?
DEEEEZZZZ NUTS!!!!!!

[Mblaster]

I own a strange driver. The thing is completly illegal. When the fellas and I play thay make me give them 4 strokes. I can hit that damn thing a mile...sometimes the ball even goes straight. :D :D

I thought that was for a NOS switch :D . But between lights I never have to push down that far. Only time it does see over 4k, is when I am heading on the highway, but that jolt between gears gets annoying.

Think that this has been asked before. But it was refered to as "FLOGGING"

Here is the link Flog your 5er? (http://bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=226527&highlight=flogging)


thought that I would post this..

But for the record.....I FLOG mine every day...HARD! Until the rubber is burning!

[bähnstormer]

heheheh flogging ? i guess that's what u could call it. but when some
one uses flog and car it brings to mind negatives for me....
then again, doing donuts does put serious wear on your car hehehe
