ok.....on the street or on street tires at the track......where do you 4/5/6-spd drivers launch ?? is it just me, or does it seem like the car actually accelerates faster when youre spinning, then, you hook and youre off like a rocket. cuz, when i launch at idle, it bogs down, then, gets back up and goes. so, where do you all launch at ?

 

Well, back on street tires. I just went off idle.
I have 4.10's tho and that helped bigtime, but from what I understand, most people just launch around 2000-2500and feather the clutch so you're on the edge of spinning/sticking.
But I have cut 2.0 60's from idle.

Edit: Also When you spin your tires your MPH will be higher as well.

 

i launch a smidgen above 2000rpm.

 

just wondering, why will your MPH be higher. What even determines your MPH. Like some cars will trap about 10 mph higher than a stang but still be very close time.

 

I launch at about 2500-2700 and I dump the clutch and it doesn't spin. On rare occasion it might but for the most part it hooks.

 

What tires?
If stock, you have one broken GT

 

I have had on Kumho ecsta supra 712 and a goodyear tire not sure which ones though. They are not going to be on much longer putting potenzas back on. My car is not broke i asure you. We have a really good track at the Gainesville raceway. nice and sticky.

 

I am different. I don't launch at a set speed. I launch as I build RPM. I have no idea if it holds true or not but my logic tels me that if I am raising RPM as I launch it will not eat RPM like it would if you drop the clutch while your holding a static 2000 RPM. But hey, it works for me. I'm pulling 1.9 60 foots on street tires doing that. It takes practice..



EDIT... and for the love of god if 01GT doesn't figure out how to use the quote tags correctly soon I am going to strangle him

 

sorry i'm not a computer nerd. i just threw it in there and thats how it came out. what do you want from me?

 

hes just giving you a hard time. calm down. he gives everybody a hard time when he can. hes cool though !!!
