RE: takeoffs?
haha na i dont think it looks bad or i would have sold them already. helll yea it scrubs its like drivin a frikin tank man. i bent the shiiiiiii* out of one just last month on a pothole because theres literally nothing to absorb the shock between the wheel and the road. i was carless for like 2 weeks and blew 500 bucks replacing the tire and getting the rim fixed.

RE: takeoffs?
just try not romping on the gas and dumping the clutch. Hold your rpms at like 2000 (i think this is a good starting point) and drop it, wait till you move a bit then put your foot to the floor. Usually works good for me, and you can tweak it from there

Yea 2k is usually a good starting point. Drop the clutch but dont floor it instantly. You will get a feel for the traction your car has and will be able to tell when its safe to floor it without spinning.

RE: takeoffs?
I had trouble taking off when I first got my stang about a month ago. It didn't help that the tires were nearly bald, but learning to drive stick on a Mustang GT with 4.10s wasn't exactly easy. Anyways, yeah I agree with monkeydude just take it slow at first don't rev it up too much, and then when you get going just floor it. I just raced a newer GTO tonight and thats what I did. He caught me off guard while I was talking to him and the light turned green lol. I knew he would beat me but I kept up with him by 1 car length so I was pretty impressed.
Oh I forgot to mention, I recently got new tires and they make a BIG difference
