Re: Fastest way to launch a manual???

and that's why your wheels spin and you get crappy launches.

Re: Fastest way to launch a manual???

im with beef_burito on this one...but if u really wanna know where to launch, just rev your car in Neutral for awhile till it warms up, and slowly press on the gas...you will easilly be able to see where your tq curve picks up and launch right under that in order to get rid of the wheel spin, but just about the best launch...whats what i do. since my tq curve starts about 3k, i launch at 2800, a little chirp and pure traction...

Re: Fastest way to launch a manual???

actually, you dont want any chirp, that is lost traction, you want to be on the edge of losing traction all the time, that way you're accelerating at highest rae possible.

Re: Fastest way to launch a manual???

i think your all wrong. i think getting your rev up to 4 grand means that your tires when u let go of the clutch will be doing about 20 mph so thats how you launch get up to speed faster. how u gonna get up to speed when u let your tires give a ltl chirp at like 2 grand

Re: Fastest way to launch a manual???

50-shot, this is also depending on your car. try launchin a mustang at 4000rpms...you wont get traction on street tires if i was to give u a million dollars. the point is to get as little wheel spin as possible, but not to eliminate it unless you have that kind of low-end tq. the spin is there to start to move a little bit quicker, but too much will hurt your times
