You could chirp the tires in beat up old Geo Metro if it had a perfomance clutch and bald tires.

Besides, since when is chirping your tires a measure of speed, power or driving ability? It is irrelivent just like "How many fingers is your drop?"
I'm not the type of guy that just trys to chirp every time i shift from 1st to 2nd, its just that some of the R18 claim that they have so i wanted to try. Yah my car has around 6000km on it and i can tell that clutch is worn in. There is really no point in shifting hard when your not racing ne ways.
