Hi Guys,
Downloaded some TopGear videos n noticed Clarkson doing something awesome with these high torque cars. He puts them in 5th gear(or 6th) and then starts the car from stanstill to whatever he can achieve on their runway. Thought of doing the same with my Pulsar 150 V2. So while returing home from office i tried it out at one signal, and to my surprise it worked!! From 0 to top speed in '1' gear!

Now i know its not advisable to ride like this. but i have a doubt. Can this be done on any bike and car? cause i know my bike can be ridden at 25kmph in 5th gear, but not every bike can do this. I know ZMA for sure cannot, it has to be ridden in 3rd gear. But then it has loads of torque(compared to my bike).
I have no clue bout cars.. Still to get my hands on one. Which indian car can do this? any thoughts??

regards,
Kapil
