Re: how do you launch your turbo car?
 

I suck at launching, I have my launch control set at 5000, so I just hit that a few times and drop the clutch.

Which sucks though, because I just spin first, shift into second, and spin that to the redline, so 3rd gear is the first gear that really grips for me. I suck at drag racing. lol

I have an automatic, put my foot on the brake and hold it till I hit about 2500 to 3000 rpm and let it go. 2.0 60fts on bfg drag radials.

I have street tires. I usually rev it up to 5500rpms and sidestep the clutch. I get consistent 1.90 60ft times. If I launch any lower than that my car bogs down :-)

With that SRT-4? You have LSD and basically DR's if they're the stock tires. That's cheating.


Just slip the clutch. Depends on your set-up, filled mounts, inserts, LSD, tires, turbo, traction bars, I could go on. Pre-load and slip the clutch, I don't pre-load, but will this year.

What exactly is preloading? And how do you do it or know your not doing it?

I heard you can break axles if you dont do this

Re: how do you launch your turbo car?
 

No SRT-4 anymore. I have a awd eclipse.

I run consistent 1.9-2s 60' on my stock 225s. ;)

I launch my neon about 1700rpms... Never WOT in first... second I rail and off I'm going.

I was watching a video of projecteg and I could of swore he was launching in 2nd gear.
