how to launch on the streets..how do y'all do it???

 

very carefully


seriously




ive never been to the track, but when i try to launch with my car, i just do it off idle, but im sure there are better ways

 

On the street its really so hit and miss that you just have to judge the ability of your tire. Obviously I can launch much harder on my ET Streets than I could on my Sumitomos, but I learned how to pedal very well. You have to give it just as much gas as your tire will hold and as soon as you feel it grab, put it to the floor.

 

your gear? tire? power?

then your question can be better answererd

 

with my truck:

select 4wd

bring rpms up to 2200-2300

let off brakes

hold on as a 7000lbs truck out launches a WRX

 

power brake 2k,hold the brake HARD,keep the gas steady...floor it while letting go of the brake careful of not breaking traction to hard..

OD/TCS off of course.

 

the tires are 315's and im guessin its the stock gearing unless previous owner changed it and its an auto do yall neutral it or what? and powers around 265...270 rwhp im guessin

 

and the tires are jus normal street tires

 

put it in neutral, rev to 5,000 then put it in 1.. works everytime [&:]



j/k.. don't do that..

for the street I give it 1/4 throttle (usually a little wheel spinning, not bad though) then I keep pushing down till it's floored..

 

I'll presume stock stall, so power brake to 1800-2000.... then off with the left foot and down with the right.
