Revving in neutral and dropping it to Drive is a major fail. I think it's some type of Manual mimicking stunt that inbred redneck 12 year olds must have came up with playing with Daddy's pick up truck in Alabama. Anyone who even considers doing that and did not know it was badd should not be in a G37 because that's a major 88' ruster Ford Tempo move. (not to mention it's useless as Autos engage from neutral to Drive pretty slowly and the revs don't mesh in like a clutch dump).

I got better 1/4 mile times just mashing gas pedal in D, then revving up and going in DS. So did car and driver or some other magazine that tested a stock G. The best times were in D, mashing the gas.
