Not a drag radial
Thats your problem, buy some m/t you'll think me later, and drop your fron sway bar.
For REALLLY nasty launches, drop the Rear Sway-Bar like this guy did.... ^^^^^^^^^ [sm=owned.gif]

Since the OP is talking about his Pilots, I assume he asking about launching on street tires. Anyone can launch on slicks.

come on feathering the clutch you can make any tire not spin. Driving around on slicks in not really an option.
Any good running 99-04 GT5 speed coupeshould be able to spin the tires from a slow roll in 1st going WOT, unless I am not remebering my car when stock correctly.

Theres a big difference between slicks and a drag radial... you can drive a nitto on the street everyday, and IMO a nitto is more than enough tire to really hook up on any bolton only 2v on the street.

Push the tranny brake, hit the 2 step up to 4500rpms...release, hold on and see the sky.

Street tires suck.

I can't get past a 2.2 60ft because of spin. I would suggest launch at idle and nail it. That is what I found works with the tires I have installed. Go around the water box also. I have a 5 speed. This is why after I rebuild my T-loc it is some drag radials for me.
