street racing?

[coo|ldude]

hey pplz.
just wondering. what is actually the fastest way of take off on a set of lights.?
i usually juss rev till bout 4500 rpm then let go of clutch so yeh..

does ripping a burnout make it slower??

anyone teach me any techniques for the fastest way of taking off?

plus.. if ur racing.. should u change gears at the redline? or wenever u think its the right time by the sounds of ur engine?

soz for the noob questions..

tata :d

burning out slows you down and you gotta switch gears right before you redline the car. you gotta practice taking off at the lights, you dont have to do big ass burnouts you gotta launch your car just right, it all in the driver.

find out what rpm your peak horsepower is at--it varies depending on what you're driving. for example, my car, a V6 mustang, gets it's peak horsepower at 5250; a honda VTEC engine gets peak horsepower around the 7000-8000 rpm range. my car is an auto and it shifts at 5500 when i floor it. you should figure out when you get peak hp (it should probably be in the 5500-7000 rpm range in a corolla, though i may be wrong, just making an educated guess) and shift a bit after that rpm--that way you'll be at a higher rpm in the next gear. also, burning out will make your launch slower, cause then the engine is turning the wheels but you aren't going anywhere. a good launch is essential.

also, since i can't leave without taking this shot, why are you trying to street race a corolla? they get zero to sixty in like ten seconds. get used to seeing other people's bumpers unless you have a turbo or something.

...not that my car is a performance orgy or anything.

very true i have a carolla, (slow as hell) but im proud of my carolla, because it gets me from point a to b. id rather put money into my explorer to make that faster.

Something really true happenned to me today but i still cant believe it... I swear im not bluffing or making it exciting but....i did beat a Porsche today with a nice take off. And trust me i did stop by the sidewalk and rethink of what i did.... Changing gears with speed shifts is the best.... I still cant believe how far a SR-5 could go. But im pretty sure the guy couldnt drive his Porsche corectly cause he could have smoked me.

It didn't help the Porsche was still in the dealership spinning around on it's display

what's street racing?

[homie774899]

First of all, Street racing is illegal and irresponsible. There are tracks out there if your interested in drag racing.

Second of all, there is no way in hell that your little Toyota blew off a Porsche. Do you realize how expensive those cars are? Someone that owns one most likely will not waste his time on a Toyota, or most any other car.

Back to this street racing thing, I dont know where you live, but its assholes like you that fuck up insurance for others. Among other things, people like you murder innocent pedestrians and other motorists. Yeah, its murder, fuck face. Either way, you wont understand that until you slam into someone and are getting fucked twice a day by your cellmate and are being his bitch to everyone else that has a pack of smokes for trade.

That was pretty insulting, i think you should keep your comments to yourself next time....specially when you dont know who you talk to with that kind of reply. Sure thing is, thats not gonna keep me up and stop me from sleeping at night. But yes you did have a point that it is dangerous and i take responsibilities for what i do and same for the person beside my car.

Insulting, by God I hope it was! I dont give a shit who Im talking to. People should know better, and if they dont, then they should grow the hell up. People that break the law in that manner deserve to get flamed, plus posts like that shouldnt be allowed. By the way, Im not insulted by your little petty post.

he is right there are alot of places to race legally
i mean if you race to a legal drag racing place you might get noticed if you have a pimped out ride (LOL) thats my comment

"also, since i can't leave without taking this shot, why are you trying to street race a corolla? they get zero to sixty in like ten seconds. get used to seeing other people's bumpers unless you have a turbo or something."

First I would like to say somthing about this..... maybe ur talking about an old Corolla because I have a 03 Type S Corolla, with Cold air intake .. and the 0-60 is approximatley 7 seconds.. if im not mistaken that is faster then a 6v Mustang, which is around 7.3 seconds... and I have beaten many Honda's, GS'r integras and other cars .... so when u say whats the point of street racing a corolla... u gotta look at it a different way.. the other day I beat a SVT focus .... and I really wouldnt say those are slow .

[BLU CIVIC]

yes a svt focus is slow....and i personally think u picked the wrong type of car to wanna go street racing in...and why do people alway have to mention that they beat hondas and integras

[JeffSparrow]

why isnt it a street racing car.... what makes it so different then all those street racers in Hondas and integras... ??????? OH and why are u coming into a COROLLA forum ... and saying that they are not street racing cars.... go back to ur Civic forum
