Re: Launch Tips
if you are bogging, chances are that you are not applying more gas when you dump the clutch. When you release the clutch, your rpms drop, if you don't give it more gas at the exact same time, you will bog. It takes practice. and you should do that before the track, because there you have the lights and your reaction time to worry about.

Yeah man, if you plan on having the car for a while, racing it every now and then (or all the time), and giving it hell on the streets or wherever when you wanna have fun, then you really should invest on a double or triple plated clutch (which ever you prefer).

Re: Launch Tips
Yeah, like they said, the stock clutch isn't too good at taking a beating. A few hard launches wont do it in, but if you plan on racing it, or upgrading past the 400hp mark definantly upgrade the clutch.
