How to properly launch a boosted 5spd car????
I've been getting a chance to run my car hard lately. But I need to learn how to launch. I'm getting wheelspin thoroughout 1st and 2nd on my 5spd sc'd... I usually rev to like 2500rpm then let the clutch on and when I start rolling I floor it and that's where the spinning happens. And advice on what I need to do to get it done the right way

Actually, I do spin second at the track. Anyways, the problem is "floor it" once rolling. STOCK VQ's have something called torque(4-bangers' wish they had some), so you can't just floor it.
You need to resist that urge to floor it. I can't do it, MAYBE you are stronger willed.

Try launching in second.

But yeah, next I get a chance I'll try just like giving it half gas and letting it go.
