Default Taking the car out for a walk

Anyone else in here enjoy just walking out the gears on occasion?

Low end torque. Nice tranny. Just let it walk itself up through the RPMs.

Such a nice way to feel the engine build power.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

I like doing it when someone is nailing it from a light and all of a sudden they see me coming up from behind and I didn't even step into it
