Im sure it could give a little chirp, but no way it could break them loose.

Yeah, it can do it every time I shift at 7000. The tires have about 5,000 miles on them and the clutch is really good. The engine has 124,000 miles on it, but it's still as strong as could be.

It gives more than a chirp, but I the back of the car doesn't go sliding or anything like that.

I wanted to find out if that is irregular or if it is a normal rx-7 prek.
