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

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.

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.
