That car is flat out FAST!!! But the person filming it was a complete retard. They kept getting the zoom buttons mixed up... probably his stupid wife/girlfriend. That guys got enough talent to build and drive a car like that and his wife can't even work a camera. LOL.

Well I used to launch just about every other weekend 8-10 runs a night at about 4500rpm. Nothing broke in the rear end, but after about a year, my brand new KC clutch blew into oblivian. Had to drive home about 30 miles without a clutch. That was fun and exciting.

its called foot breaking in an auto. u pull up, hold the brake to the floor, hit the gas right before the tires start to spin ( the stall point of the converter) and let go of the break and put the gas to the floor and go!

what would you guys say is the best way to launch?
i dont really like the idea of firing the clutch at 3000 or so..
look at this guy.. looks like he drops the clutch, and stands on the brake.. then just keeps it idled up and releases the brake when the tree goes green..
