Last time I was out in the GTS it was tuned up and some Mustang revved his engine next to me. We just happened to be the first to go at a stoplight. When the light changed I let out the clutch then floored it (not having done that for years with it idling so poorly when I got it back.) It instantly broke loose spinning both rear tires all the way to red line.
With the pneumatic and electrically controlled differential lock that uses both the comparitive speeds of the ABS sensors left right front and rear and a accelerometer it kept spinning an accelerating in a straight line. So, when first gear hit red line, I shifted to 2nd and floored it keeping the spin going. It effortlessly went thru 2nd in the same fashion as first.
At the end of 2nd I as going the 45mph speed limit so just let off proceeded at the speed limit. Grinned to myslef thinking it was a pretty nicely setup car to not only spin the tires thru first and second on dry pavement (it did not do that before the rebuild) AND effortlessly stay stright with no tendency to fish tail one way or the other.
Even with the spin-fest I pulled out in front.
