Default Launching in an auto

A few times I raced a car from a dig...For a second or two I just spun the tires, which I know isn't good. Any tips or advice to launch immediatly? My tires are in pretty good shape.

a little bit of tire spin is good.

build up the suspension --$$$$$$$$$

the stock tires suck, so if you need to replace them every get sum better tires

untill then, less throttle

I doubt an '01 has the factory tires still.[&:]

Rolling the throttle and modulating it based on what you feel going on is the quickest way to launch any car.

If you can't give it any throttle before tire spin, you need to think about better tires.
