My Goat will be here literally ANY day now. Got Black/Black/m6.

I have never had (or even test driven) a car with this kind of power. I want to enjoy my first drive.....

So, what at what RPM can I dump the clutch safely and still land in the back seat when she takes off?

Maybe you should take it easy for awhile. Don't kill yourself in it.

I'd surely die with a :)

The roads around here are too plain anyway, they need some new stripes

yeah, i agree with nik,
take it easy and get use to the power. the last thing we need is another GTO accident.

What They said. I would get use to the car first and slowly play with dumping the clutch. But when your ready. I launch @ about 3200rpm when racing.

And your tires don't instantly vaporize? Wow...On stock tires I can't even launch at 1200 and maintain traction. Granted that's an automatic but still.

Is that the 555R drags or the regular 555s or something else?
