anyone?

I have been practicing a little, I notice if I let the clutch out too fast, it bogs, too slow it slips. I can get good launches slipping the tranny but, then I have to smell it and feel guilty that I burned it.

Anyone have it down yet? What launch rpm? when to make the 1-2 shift? and 2-3 thanks.

Try holding your RPMs at 1700 , and bring the clutch up to the point right before it makes the car moving... so i guess half way. But make sure its not to far up cuz then your car will start moving.

When your set with both feet, one holding the RPMS at 1700, and the othere holding the clutch, at the same time relase the clutch fast, and floor it, your car should give a nice spin or a nice loud churp, and grap traction and take off...if your car bogs it might be that your not giving enough gas, or try it at a high RPM like 2000 , 2500 untill you find whats best for you, if you do it and you spin all the way threw first when you floored it, your droping the clutch and giving to much gas to fast, keep working on it and it will become natural.

Also remember, say this works for you , and you feel good at leaving at 1500 like i do.. in diffrent areas you may have to adjust. I cant launch that low at the track becuase its very stick, so at the track i have to go to 2500

Good luck
