there is reason why remote start is illegal in manual transmission cars. Projectile much? I'm sure but not 100% positive on this matter.

Rx7 with LS1 motor.

Captree is a great meet, Sunday mornings from about 7am -11am. Hope they don't shut it down over this.

Reminds me of a thread. I think it was over on the mustang forums, not to long ago. Guy installed a remote start and bypassed the safety switch. Took it in to the dealer to have the car serviced. Supposedly what happened was one of the service people hit the button thinking it was the alarm to find the car, but instead remote started it. Went through the parking lot and ended up in a pond. Car was totaled.

That statement is 100% false. Funny though, sucks if he really wasn't the owner though.

Go figure the one Sunday i decide not to go.Got a call from my buddy the car it hit was his 800 mile brand new 11' gt500 vert.He told me if the guy didn't hop in and turn the wheel at the last second(clipping the bikes)it would have hit head on.

Edit: It was an RX7 with a LS7 swap in it,ccw's and the whole nine.Guy supposedly just got it back from some big name builder.

for those who don't read articles fully:

"A male driver is hurt during an auto show at Captree State Park after his Mazda RX-7 apparently accelerated across a parking lot near a boat basin, then crashed into the water."
