What to do when racing??
Guys quick question. When you want to race a guy of the line and you have an auto what should you do??
Floor it as soon as light turns green or
speed up a bit and then floor it
or any other tips.
reason for this is that Max will spin tires and not go anywhere if i just hit it??
Is it good to be able to spank a IS300. which i did last night, then the kid pulled up to me and is like Damn Bro how much HP do you have?? lol
i was like 255 and I had 3 other people in the car and he had himself, with a rear wheel drive car, is that bad or what

Depending on traction/road/environmental conditions i say ease up then floor it, otherwise you'll just spend your time at the starting line spinning your wheels.
During winter, whenever i floor it i could easily spin a couple of seconds before i go anywhere. Now that it's summer i can hardly chirp the tires - then again, i'm not sure if that has more to do with traction or power loss due to the heat.

but, if you're speaking of at a drag strip. power brake it to something like 2500rpm and let it rip at the third amber.

I took on an IS300(auto)...
I have an automatic 4th gen, however. I killed the guy off the line, because we were at a stoplight. I knew the timing of the lights and anticipated when the green came. I was spinning my tires as soon as the light turned green and got a 1/2 car lead instantly.
I raced a 1st gen Altima more recently, and I was really nervous about losing for some reason. I barely had a 1/4 tank of gas, and turned my a/c off. For a better start, I held the brake down with my left foot, and kept my left foot over the gas. When we started, I simultaneously lifted off the brake and hit the gas. Like the others said, I didn't put it down all the way. This was just enough to keep from spinning my tires and I got an awesome start.
