Folks,
The June issue of the BBC's car magazine Top Gear featured a
retrospective of Road Tests Rememered.  I'm not saying it's right or
wrong.  I just report the facts Jack, and I quote:
"Audi RS2- issue 14
I remember calling Audi UK way back in '94 to ask how best to launch
this new 4WD 315hp estate car off the line.  I was put on hold and soon
the answer came back "Ingolstadt Audi HQ instructs to rev to the rev
limiter and drop the clutch while holding full throttle."
"You've got to be joking" I said.
"No, they're German engineers, they do not joke."  So I did and the
resultant violent thumping from the drivetrain was very loud and
painfully unpleasant.  I never broke five seconds for the 0-60 dash, but
impressively we didn't break the car either, despite further abuse at
the Brighton Speed Trials.  And 0-30 in 1.5 seconds is still a Top Gear
road car record."

Okay so let's review;
Warm the car up.
Bring RPMS up to 7,000.
Pop the clutch.

Oh and BTW -  YMMV ;)
Cheers'
