What car do you drive in real life?

Lol

I hope this isn't diverging too much, but I have a question:

Are you meant to shift in the torque (3-4 K) or horsepower (5.5-6.5 K) range for the first few shifts if you're drag racing with a road car?

Because from my knowledge fostered only through video games, I think for the first 2 shifts from 1-2 & 2-3 you want quick shifts on low revs as there's no point using the horsepower when you're only going from 40 - 65 km/h. It would be better to have drive and the pull (my car's an FF) and then from 3rd gear onwards, it would be better to extend the gear and get some real power.

Is this pretty much correct? I'd just like some more knowledge about my car I guess. =) Just to remind you: a stock 1998 Nissan Pulsar N15 SLX Sedan.

A million dollar anyone?

I guess I'll infer that to mean torque doesn't matter. I just thought considering how low power the car is, it would be good to get the wheels turning early on, because it's an FF and the bulk of the weight is at the front. I inferred that that is why I can only do a burnout on a hill - less weight on the front wheels so there's far less traction when I'm at the peak of the torque range.

I also thought it would be easier on me as the revs spike pretty quickly in first gear, and I have less risk of letting them hit the limiter and damaging the engine by shifting immediately in the torque range. Then by 3rd gear, I can sustain the revs the longest to get the real benefits.

New wing and get rid of the towbar and it'll look golden =)

first gear is always torque for me when it comes to FWD, espeically if it has a turbo as 1st gear can't get the power down, i would shift at about 4k then 2nd will be close to redline.

Some cars get a majority of power and torque low down like my old audi A3 2.0T which after the stage 1 chip basically had all power and torque before 4.5k and after that you could feel the drop off in torque and the power wasn't there.

Hey guys, quick question.

How much of a would I be if I put this on my car?

lol. I think it would make ANY car I drive instantly unique. So instead of being picky like I am about not owning a generic car, I can just put it anything and it'll draw attention, which is what I want. lol Criticism is warranted.

Depends on the car...might look ok on something decent, but an epic fail on an old Charade or something.

I'd put that on my car when I pick it up on Saturday (fingers crossed) but on my Mum's Accent? Yeah nah, don't think so.

A 97-00 Impreza RX, looks really nice.

Maybe, I'd like to use the Silvia 240RS next season, not the rally car but the road car.

Will do once S4 nears its end. I haven't driven it either, not confident it would be very fast, but I think it would be a good tribute to BJ.
