I've had my SS/SC for five days now, picked it up Saturday morning. That was also the first time I've driven a stick. So, needless to say, I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

Anyways, ten minutes ago on the way to work I hit a light with an SRT-4...yesterday I saw the same one on the way home from work I saw the same one and we were screwing around, weaving in and out of traffic having a good time. So today I figured what the hell, let's see if I've learned anything about driving in the last 5 days.

So the light changes, I hit it, wheels spin, hop, it revs high...starts moving, i shift into second still revving around 5g, shift into third, finally get my **** together, but by now he's gone. So we hit the next light, this time I decide instead of playing badass I'm just gonna ease off the line (my problem spot) and see what 2-4 can do for me after I get moving. So the light changes, he's gone, and I never get within 3 car lengths of him...but I didn't make an ass outa myself on the line.

So the lesson I learned today...don't mess with racing until you can confidently drive a stick

 

lol once you learn to drive stick you will get much better trust me

 

more like once u learn to launch *eye roll*

oh, and are you serious? you don't skip gear in a race... yeesh.

 

I didn't skip a gear. And yea, once I learn to launch. I'm well aware that I'm not good at it yet.

 

keep trying. Launching these cars is an art, not something that comes overnight

 

Amen to that.... any FWD with power is a challenge.
