Had to ride down to San Diego for work in a tractor trailer. When we where in a town the driver would cruz next to like a bus stop or something and shut the truck off, drop down a gear or two, turn it to on and dump the clutch-it made the loudest boom EVER- everyone sitting at the bus stop would think a bomb just dropped. He would laugh and I thought he was going to give someone a heart attack.

If I downshift into 2nd from 3rd over 4-5krpm I can usually get it to backfire and pop
I think it depends on your tune, I'm running a little rich so the extra fuel burns in the exhaust and backfires...
I THINK haa don't quote me on it, that's what someone told me

HAHA, that's awesome!!!
Sometimes with my E85 tune, I'll get some pops every now and then...not frequent though! Probably it's either the E85 I use or just Im not running on a full tune
When I first got the car, I would get pops like crazy and I got a loud pop one time, it scared me!! lol

Cruised with a sonic yellow wrx today west bound 24, I kept looking at you to give the duces, but you never looked at me back, though I was in my truck.
