floor it and hear how nice she sounds when she gets near redline during the shifts, which are real smooth by the way.

Floor the thing already! Turn off the DSC and feel the burn!
With those tires that's an expensive burnout.

But you only live once.

Just do it. If for no other reason, then you have to do it for this one: http://www.tigersweat.com/movies/graf/graf04.wav
