Can't stop fishtailing!
 
The age old saying is true: If you're spinning, you ain't winning. I've tried launching from 2500 to 3000 and my car is still fishtailing. I also tried to launch from 2nd and it still fishtails. Do you guys have any input or suggestions? I would appreciate it. (Racing the 94 Z Sunday). One last thing is fishtailing a word?:eek:

Stop dumping the clutch. Roll off it. If that doesn't work, take off normal and then roll into the throttle.

while stones advice is good, if you want to get the most out of your car, you need tires that can put the power to the ground.

How far are you slipping the clutch. You cant just "Drop" it. You have to slip it out.
Try bringing it to around 3000 rpm and then slipping the clutch out while slowly rolling into the throttle.
You can adjust rpm, and how aggressive you are with the clutch and throttle from their.
