Nuetral drops(putting your automatic in nuetral,revving the engine to high rpms,then dropping it into drive are); not good,not advised,bad fr your transmission,ill advised,not covered under waranty,doesnt look cool,wont make ya go faster,and just plain stupid im my humble opinion.Other's may want to add there opinion.
So now if anybody asks that question now,tell them to ,,,do a search.;)
ps ,,this doesnt apply to the manual transmission(The car with 3 pedals):checkit:

that's why honda's have a lockout...10% throttle=shiftlock engaged ;)

i thought subaru might have thought about this by now..guess not ;)
are we speaking from experience here

heh eh eh eh eh eh:devil:
When my car was in the shop, I had a olds alero (or some crap like that) for a rental. I tried to do a neutral drop, but the throttle was "fly-by-wire", and it wouldn't physically drop into gear until the revs had been brought down to about 1k.... that sucked... I was planning on trashing the transmission.... :D
Nope not me,,,,,,,

Mild power brake launchs i do on occaion.Havent done a nuetral drop since i was 15 and that was on a Chrysler TorqueFlite pushbutton automatic,with the buttons on the left side of the dash.Now THAT transmission would take a licken and keep on ticken:eek: 426 hemi Dodge Coronet,very big and very fast.

Ditto what you said, and I'll also addVery freaking expensive!!!!!!!
Doing it in drive is just stupid but I like doing them in reverse it makes me look cool:stinky:

Do not do this guys and gals without a parent or gaurdian:stupid:
sounds soooo cool! how do i do one??? oh wait, i have the skills to drive a manual... silly me :biggest:
Dale Teague autocrossed a front wheel drive Legacy automatic last year and at start he always dropped into first, put his left foot all the way down on the brake, and blipped the throttle until takeoff. I was pretty impressed with how well the car took off like that. He could get some impressive wheelspin with that car too, when he wanted that.
Yep but Dale's got alot more resources fr fixen his then we do.Sounds like a good way to launch though.
