how did u learn to LAUNCH!?!?

hi every1, im new and its my first post - yay

anywho,

i will be getting a car in the near future and i was just wondering how could i possibly perfect my drving style and launches off the start like in drags

so i just wanted to know if u could help me in doing that??

i was sorta thinking marking a line on my street and doing 100m launches or go to an area where there is no one and practise?? and use like a g-tech to see if im getting better :) .

any help plz??

The best way to learn is to practice in some one elses car. And practice some more, & more. If you drive your "street" car like a race car be prepared to repair & maintain it like one.

Welcome to AF btw

This is horrible information, and I do not condone following it, but it is a way.

Find an industrial park, late at night, that has redlights. Stop at a green light, and wait for the yellow, rev, launch on red. Obviously, don't do this when there is another car around. Or just find somewhere secluded and practice on your own.

hahah Ilove that way...

When you get your car practice different methods, dumping the clutch, feathering the clutch etc. and use the one that you feel most comfortable with.

another thing too, something which my friends don't seem to understand. When you rev and launch, don't immediately put your foot into it. Hold it where it is until your tires get traction and then bury the pedal. All of my friends rev the piss out of their motors and then just bury their foot after dumping the clutch and they sit there and spin and wonder why....dumbasses.

thx for ur tips ppl, ill take them aboard when i get my car

LoL GScivic we're not dumbasses...Its just habit...one foot comes out one goes in...im trying to get myself out of that habit right now..

The best way is to spend a few bucks and goto the track, that way you won't get jacked. I too learned on the street back when I had a fast car, In the 6 years Ive been driving I have collected over 30 tickets, street racing is stupid and expensive, take it to the track.

Street racing is stupid and expensive but it is much more fun than the track. I race on both...I know.

On the street your so close to death that its so stupid but thats what makes it so interesting.

Remember, illegal things are always fun. :)

Simple, get an auto tranny!
