"Even the cruelest parking valets are unlikely to rev a car’s engine to redline and dump its clutch. But that’s just what a Subaru engineer suggested we do when we asked him how to get the best acceleration times out of the 2015 WRX."

Oh really? so this works three times before boom?

Whoever gets a 2015 WRX locally should find out for us. I'll assume it'll handle the abuse (3+ redline launches before boom) since it's the 6 speed.

Edit: It appreas C&D did it 14 times without issues.
