Re: How do you properly launch a car??
LOL! nOOb got banned.
anyways, am no race expert and i havent had any experience racing. but experiment on stop lights when I AM ALONE. try launching it at like 2000-3000 rpm. feather off the clutch so you avoid spinning the wheels (especially a FWD). i dunno...maybe there is some other better way to do it. you wana try to get to peak torque right away with out spinning your wheels. thats how i see it.

Practice makes perfect. If you have a buddy that lives in the middle of nowhere, practicing there would be good.

Re: How do you properly launch a car??
The wrong way to launch:
1. Push clutch. 2. Floor gas, revving engine to redline. 3. Let off clutch. 4. Enjoy the smoke.

Re: How do you properly launch a car??
Yeah, try that. I tend to launch around 3500, and that gets me decent results. Experiment a bit with different RPMs until you find one that really works.

every car will vary.. 3k sounds a bit high your going to spin at that kind of RPM. When you launch you want to get the jump with very little or no kind of spin at all. If you launch at 3k dont just drop the clutch kind of ease of it.. course your going to eat your clutch up a bit
 If I launch hard out at 2k I'll spin my tires to 70-80 then finally catch traction. as said before practice makes perfect, I have yet to perfect my launches with my new motor.

Re: How do you properly launch a car??
i tried at 3000 rpm and i think it works just fine...i dont let go of the clutch right away but i feather of the clutch or ease of it...i just get a little chirp on the tires. then i know i have the traction...i floor it then shift till about red line to second to third. i usually just try to parctice on empty streets with a stop light. never really raced...i would rather take it to the track to race somebody...not worth it getting caught by cops.

Re: How do you properly launch a car??
the shift point depends on the car and the tires and the track/street conditions.
you want to get as much RPM's as possible without burning out, but not low enough RPM's so that the car bogs. The best launch is where you lose traction for just a second, then take off. If you don't at least chirp the tires, launch harder.
