*Yawn*, burnouts can be done easily in the 350.
What was impressive to me is the white car got a 2nd gear chirp, not bad for a car with automatic tranny and big rear wheels. . .

All the IS-F's there chirpped into 2nd easily. The gear ratios for the first few gears are very short. Lots of HP put down to the ground, that's for sure.

My first reaction to listening to the IS-F on the dyno was: "Wow first gear is just about useless it's so short." It's nice to have them so tightly spaced though. Can you force a start in 2nd?

I did not get a chance to test that yet, but defaulting to snow mode you can. I'll get a chance to see the car again soon in the next few weeks.
