hahahahahha. irony at its finest. about the only time you should need to launch second is in a 5.0 with a 4 banger tranny (that i can think of)

When im racing I usually start out in 2nd. But to answer your question, I'm not sure. I have my own beliefs but not sure if they are correct or not.[:@]

Yeah man, I'm the moron that starts racing in 2nd gear with stock 3.27 gears. Dude, what is your problem? I simply asked you a question and you get all butt hurt? You weren't sure if you were 'correct or not' so I told you it wasn't the right way to start a race? Did you forget to take your meds today?
Damn.

in my wifes car i'll take off in 2nd on ice, other than that your just burnin up your clutch, when i race rice burners in my truck,( I can't beat a stang, YET!), i'll launch in 3rd, and 4wd. The look on thier face when then get beat by a diesel is priceless.

Tech question for all of you, what happens when you take off from zero mph on 2nd or even 3rd gear does this f**k-up your engine, or when you shift up when the rpm's are low and shift up is not yet needed, my dad does this a lot with his little truck, he has it on 4th when usually I would still have it on 2nd, does this save you gas, or what does it do to a car ??? always wondered.
thanks!

**** up you engine yes and no yes if you lug it no if you dont.Where it does damage is your clutch.I wont start out in second or third i use first when availible afterall thats why its there isnt it?
Getting up in to the overdrives or higher gears does nothing but wastes shifts unless your cruising at a steady speed.
