I've got a V6 that i've gotten to break lose in second gear TWICE. First isn't an issue, but second is hard.
First was right after Gasket replacment, cleaned out all the gunk in the intake manny and was still tons of carb cleaner in there. Gave the truck some pep.
The second i was takign off from a light and kept them slightly roaching all the way through first, took second and got about a second or more of spinning. The spedometer said 55, but when it came back down i was doing closer to 35-40. Other then that, i need water to get them to spin in second. Got them going all the way into 4th today on the way to work. Tried working on my wet payvment take off... Wasn't trying to lose control, but keep it going. Wasn't doing more then 45 or so but tires kept slipping on me.
Friend has an AWD eclipse that can squeak them in second gear around 45 mph. That's driving the the car as HARD as possible without destroying it. Went through a clutch in one month. It was a fun month though....
