How to get the most torque?

[Veryconnoro]

On the ST what should I do if I want to feel the full amount of torque the car has to offer?

Push the right pedal all the way down

llol yea push the right pedal then hit the ebrake

Use 93 oct and turn off tcs

Get a tune

Biggest number or actual usable torque curve?

There is a big difference.

Stage 3.

Running 93 octane, in fourth gear, accelerate full throttle from 1,500 rpm to 3,500 rpm. You will feel it somewhere in there, probably around 2,000 rpm.

I like to floor it like this in 3rd. Flooring at low rpm in 1st and 2nd is a waste due to general lack of traction.

2nd gear, really low weight 15" wheels and 225 Rival S tires, LSD, etc...once past 55 degrees so the tires start to work better, decent road surface, my car spools up once past the lag and just rockets off like mad, have to hang on and deal with some serious torque steer, no wheel spin at all, fun and a big scary at times

It is actually a bit dangerous on a twisty road or around traffic and as mentioned on other threads is pulls like made to red line which is set at 7300 RPM right now, it pulls hard in 3rd, 4th, 5th....of course less so than in the lower gears but still plenty of acceleration in the taller gears.

Once finally done it will have a bit more power but a wide torque curve and be safer to drive in some situations and easier to go faster in others)
