Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
I asked my dad if I could try his car today.. ( I'm 16.. min. age for drivers license here is 18. ) He didn't mind, so we wen't out to drive on a closed road. He drove me there, so yeah, we changed seats, I started the car, put it in first ( yuh its manual ) and wanted to start driving. It idles at 1000 rpm.. I wanted to launch at 2000, so I touched the gas pedal just a tiny bit and wroom.. it shot to 5000 rpm ( its a low rpm engine.. so that's not really good ) I didn't get it at all, I tried again, and it shot to 5000 again, and my dad was like 'dont rev it that high..' I took off my shoes, and tried it on socks.. This time it shot to 4000-4500 rpm.. I didn't get it at all.. So, I was driving for around 15 mins ( engine didn't stall once =p ), everything went really perfect.. I'm just wondering if all gas pedals are this sensitive?! That would be horrible.. When I drive karts i'm used to heel toe when slowing down.. i'm afraid that if I would have done it in my dad's car by accident the engine would have gone crazy with a gas pedal like this.. I can't even normally touch it..
Yeah, they're all sensitive. First time I tried was when my dad had me go up and down the steep driveway. (was NOT fun.) You just have to touch it a bit to get it to go.

ya, some cars are very sensitive on the gas than others. Trick I found after driving countless cars (I worked in a car dealership where we fix all makes and models). Just push the clutch in all the way like usual, and let it up slowly...very slowly (unless you're quite used to the clutch on that vehicle). And then when you see the motor start to grumble a bit because the clutch is starting to engage...just give it some gas then...the resistance from the clutch should keep the engine from revving as high as it usually does. Always worked for me here in canada. Hope that helps
My first car was a Mk2 Golf Diesel.. which was heavy on the throttle, clutch and virtually never stalled. I was asked one day to move someones Peugeot.. something.. a sports model. The throttle was as floppy as a Talibans flipflop and the clutch as weak as his mother... I stalled it 5 times then gave up.. however hard I tried to be slooow and caaareful.. it just failed.. 7000rpm or stall..
This happens for a while..
But these days. as anyone here who has been driving a good amount of time will know.. you just get in and drive anything.. like a god.
