what is the "no lift shift?"

 

so what does "No lift shift" mean exactly?

 

No-Lift shift means you keep your foot planted on the gas while shifting into the next gear, the engine computer adjusts the RPM's of the engine accordingly, so no more banging against the rev limiter when powershifting

 

you dont have to lift the gas to shift...

 

SWEET!

Nice information!

I just want to know the date when I can pick one up..........

 

that sounds like it could be bad

 

If done wrong, it very well could, but I'm no expert on how they did it, so I can't intelligently comment on how it might handle things like downshifts. I have it ingrained into my brain to let off the gas when shifting, so it probably would never help me anyway

 

Yup, no lift shift is just a computer algorithm that limits rpm when youve got the gas floored and depress the clutch. the HHR SS has it too. Its not designed for downshifts.

 

that's what I figured it was... it's so the turbo dosen't lose boost when you shift.

 

I would agree with you, I'm no expert but I would guess that it keeps the rpms in the right range to work perfect with the syncros in the trans.

I am also wandering what "close-coupled catalytic converters" means. It sounds like a big restriction if you just go off of what it sounds like. If that indeed is what it sounds like, that would be great for those of us that like to modify.

 

Close couple catalysts means that the cat is very close to the exhaust outlet, and isnt way down the exhaust system. The cat on the LNF is literlally only 4-5" away from the turbine outlet. Whereas on the LSJ it was almost a foot or more away from the manifold outlet.

It doesnt affect the flow rating of the exhaust, it simply allows the converter to get and stay hot quicker.

 

can any one tell me if they are going to use the same 5-110 lug pattern? i want to get rims but dont want to be screwd when i get my new balt

 

Thanks for the info

I am sure they will stick with the same 5x110 pattern from the looks of it, but you never know.

 

do we have official 1/4 mile times for it yet? I'm just wondering what all I have to do to my car to keep up

 

Yes.

 

I believe I saw somewhere that it was a 14.1 but we all know that number can be improved stock. If I am not mistaken the SS/SC was said to only get a 14.7 and many people including me have achieved low 14's bone stock.

 

I'll take mine imperial blue, with black racing stripes.

 

still no confirmed delivery dates though?

 

If theres no delays , they will in showrooms in April .

 

so it has the 5 speed f35, thought it would of had the f40 6 speed

 

Nope, still uses the same good ole F35-5. Why would you want the F40-6???

 

Some people believe that more is always better.

 

I know, but its not Why would you want an extra overdrive? that and the trans is even bigger and doesnt shift any smoother.. I'd pay extra to get the 6spd from....AHHH.....GASP....the Civic Si.

 

Im just saying all the speculative info we got on this car said it would have the f40 on it, not the f35. I dont care either way really. Just something I noticed.
