It doesn't exactly make the best trap time because that power doesn't go to the floor, it goes to waste and just shows how bad of a driver you are. More powerful cars could would chirp even in the higher gears. Cars with the best times would hardly make any tire noise and just roar down the track. But just for fun, if you could make your tires lose traction in the taller gears, people thoughy, damn, that that car puts out a lot of power. Lemme know if you need help one day. ;) When I used to drag race my car in Hawaii, the 1 to 2 shift would always chirp if you just stood on the throttle.

It will only make you want one. Rick: Yep, 4km when I picked it up. I heard that in the US sometimes they let people test drive the cars they have in stock before selling it. In Japan, usually if you buy a new car it comes directly from the factory so you know no one else has driven it. The break in period is 1000km, for the first 300km I try not to rev past 3000RPM, after that it's 4000RPM for the next 300km and then 5000RPM etc...although I have to say I have already hit the redline a few times. Tires chirp? I wouldn't have a clue how to do that...maybe you can show me sometime? On second thought...maybe not ;) Filipe: Better not test drive one. It will only make you want one.

Is that 4 km on the odometer when you picked it up? Pretty good. I had more when I picked up my Honda in Hawaii back in the day. I always wondered what they do with it before they deliver it to the customer. How many miles till it gets broken in? 500 miles? I bet it's killing you. I double-dare you to check if you can make the tires chirp on the 2nd to 3rd gear shift! ;) Sahweeet! Is that 4 km on the odometer when you picked it up? Pretty good.

I am extremely jealous. :) The NC is not yet for sale in Europe, and the official presentation will be held in November (!!!), here in Portugal, in Algarve. Can't wait to see it in the metal... Have lots of fun! Congratulations, it looks magnificent. I am extremely jealous. :)

Parking is also there. Well if you really want to avoid traffic jam, I would go to Shinjuku-Gyoen, Ko-yo with skyscraper mixture is quite nice contrast. Parking is also there.

I'm okay, thx 4 reply too. WOW!! finally you got your lovely NC now, oh looks stunning and shinny!! I'm so jelous!! I imagine your NC makes you feel ten feet tall, Yeah as you stated a lighter-cluch on NC must be much more suitable for the traffic in Tokyo, anyway "Jinba-Ittai" is exactly same for any Roadster, I believe. You need to drive your NC somewhere to see "KO-YO" you know, typical Japanese autumn thing, don't ya? well forget about the JPLT test for now. Enjoy with your new partner at first! Cheers!
