I mean.... couldn't you easily chirp most gears by shifting at the rev limiter while slowly letting out the clutch. It's obviously GREAT for your car, but I don't understand why people are amazed that they lose traction when shifting gears at high revs. I mean, if you are going say 15 mph .. and idiotically try shifting into 4th while flooring it at the rev limit, I bet you could get a chirp, and destroy your tranny and eat up your clutch. Awesome!

It will... I have felt (and heard) mine break loose a bit in 3rd .... but that was flat out driving the ____e out of it and not something I care to do to it often

Yes it is very possible to chipr third. The main reason is CHEAP TIRES!

youbamboozle

wats a chirp?!

3rd I believe is possible. I've done it once on a wet road on a cold night. Though I'm not sure if I just let off the clutch too slow. But I don't believe 4th is possible. NO WAY, NO HOW! [/wizard of oz]

same kinda noise you hear right before an accident.....its screeching tires....but real short like a bird chirp....

Two reasons why:
- mediocre tires
- weight transfer to rear upon acceleration

Not a great combo for the best acceleration, but kinda fun anyway

Also because the car has an ungodly amount of power... like the tC does.

haha i agree. we must all give thanks to our powerful little coupes for giving us so much power

i have the 18's w/ the perelli p-zero nero tire and i have chirpped 3rd a couple times seems like mostly on fresh paved roads for me

Mr_Meaty

I chirp third all the time. My bet would be on the not so grippy Potenza's and the portly weight of the tC.

sh*t... its more than possible... i dont just chirp in third, when i had just the straight pipe on i was spin'n em in third... it may "still be a tC" but it's got a great amount of torque, and it really just comes down to how you catch the gears, and how long you wanna ride the clutch and rev it up...

-Keith-

I chirp third alot... and I have 18x8.5" rims

Simez2003

I chirped 3rd like a parakeet.

Mizle

KYBoy

matty-tC

i chirp 4th in my automatic

Mizle

i thought you said u only chirp D...now i hear stuff about 4th...somethin fishy goin on here

wOoOzZy

He's kidding. I think it's pretty impossible to chirp any gear but 1st in an auto.

Mizle

i know he's kidding...although i did chirp second once in my protege once.
