lateral accel. only tells part of the picture... you need to look at slalom times also.

 

First of all I said Evo not Cobra.

Anyway, Since yer the only one on here that is repsonding to my thread, I have tried the 90 5k turn dude, and yes it is funner than hell.

 

did you just drop the clutch.. what is the secrete??

 

i didn't even drop it. Droping it makes a poping or snaping noise. I just feathered it quick. Bogged down to about 2.5 to 3k for a millisecond and then BANG ! ! Yer gone and shifting into second before you can say "turbo lag".

 

Can I tell you, for a newbie to AWD, a one-two shift is tricky.. I still am not used to this damn thing..

 

This has to be one of the hardest clutches i ever driven.. my first stick shift car... maybe tahts why but honda's and acura cars all seem so much eassier

 

This car is real jumpy. 1st to 2nd is so quick you almost want to start in 2nd. My Z06 was easier to drive.

 

yea AWD turbo cars with small displacement take a little getting used to for certain

 

Honda/Acura probably has the best tranny out there...
shifts are short and crisp, and very smoooooth.

 

Hi,

The AWD transmissions are very different from any muscle car I have owned which started with a 1970 GTO. I find the smoothest shift occurs when I go from gear to gear with a slight delay at the neutral gate. It seems to like a light touch (actually two fingers) and can be done very quickly. I find the high release height of a new clutch slowing down my shifts more than the transmission.

I love the gear ratio in the car. I am never more than 1 gear away from what I need. I was always going from 4 to 2 and 5 to 3 in my Talon.

Speedlimit..........

 

I agree with you..I think the cluth pedal is in a rather odd position. I find my foot slipping to the very top of the pedal a lot.

 

I cant wait to get my own so I can compare.
