Default proper start wihtstick

hey guys.. new to the manuals.. just wondering what to do exactly.. if im at a lgiht lets say, and i know its about to turn green.. and i wanna race.. or if im at the track.. what do i do to get the best launch?...

just so u know what i think im supposed to do.....

i think i need to have it in gear, and then rev seconds before, or when im staged.. and keep it reved at about 3500.. and either let off.. or some how avoid spinning out..

any help would be appreciated.. thanks

1st off make sure t/c is turned off if u have it. Also depending on how much hp u have I'd 1sttry to rev around 2500 to keep from getting sideways on go.

Go to a large, open parking lot somewhere and do it, because responses on an online forum will only confuse you unless you understand the feeling firsthand.

+1 on that!Practice-practice-practice is the way to learn!Open parking lots or an old country road where no one will call the police!
