Chirp in 2nd...
So cruising around in the F today & it never fails that I cant help but mess with the paddle shift(as my woman always says 'im racing myself')
So im down this farm road thats about straight as an arrow for a solid mile with 1 stop light. I caught the red light, pop it over to manual mode & mash it on the green run it up to almost 7k & tag the paddle & caught a legit tire chirp shifting into 2nd...1st time thats happened, kinda cool & honestly I didnt even know it was capable in the F. It was a manual transmission like chirp going into 2nd...well with all that malarkey being said...DAMN I love my F!!!

haha this made me laugh! i'm right there with ya buddy.. my best comment yet was " OH MY GOD the seatbelt just grabbed my *****!" Lexus PCS at its best
the exhaust note during downshift with a full cutback still puts a smile on my face every day. It reminds me of heel/toe shifting in my old manuals.

Took it out this morning & killed an STi 3x, once from a light(caught a 2nd gear chirp again)...once from a 60 roll & he insisted on a 40 roll(the F is just vicious from a 40)...good way to start a Sat. morning.

I remember the first Road and Track review of the ISF, they claimed a 2nd -> 3rd chirp also. Puts a grin on my face. Try it with the traction control off...
