Interestingly enough (or not, you tell me), the technique I learned driving my Saab 2-strokes worked great for me in the 900T. The 2-strokes don't have an accel pump on the carb(s), so in order to get a smooth start, it's "clutch in, quick stomp on gas & release, then clutch out and accellerate". I found when I got to the turbo, my feet just did it automatically, and I at least imagine that that little move gets the turbo impellor going, reducing lag. I didn't notice I was doing it until another Saaber pointed it out to me, and spotted me as a 2-stroke driver. Anyone else do something like this? Dave Hinz
