Hey, at what rpm do you guys launch?

[gold289]

At what rpm do you lauch? Stick or auto?

Well, still learning the car but for now I launch at 1500rpm on the street with a semi-quick feather of the clutch. I get very little whell spin and almost no lag on clutch release.

3000 in my cousin's 02, about 2000 in my car.

4000 and dump the clutch

well my first time at the track i was launching at about 2500rpm. next time i go i might try out some different launches, maybe a bit higher like around 3000rpm.

I launch my 5spd at approx. 2750RPM. On my 18's, 2500RPM kinda bogs and 3k smokes 'em so I needed a happy medium.

EDIT: That was last season when I had the stock 3.27's. Now that I have my 3.73's, I'm probably going to have to change my technique.

2,000rpm slowly releasing the clutch.

Thanx, I am trying to get it featured in a Magazine, but I guess they only feature "Rich Boy" cars! (maybe I'll win the lottery this year)

Off the line I just feather the clutch/gas.

 

[5spd GT]

I would launch at 3500 and feather just a bit and I might get a chirp out of the tires and I was off...

4000 and dump the clutch

and this is why you are slow...

 

[just some guy]

i bring it out at 4k on the stock tires, with a quick slip

5k with a quick dump on drag radials

I don't know what I am doing wrong but if I lauch at anything over 2000 rpms then I spin like hell??

 

[just some guy]

you have to ride the clutch out...cant just dump it...i launch at 4k on stock tires and i never spin...its all in that left foot of yours

 

['96&'01Stang]

My clutch is really grabby.....I have a spec stage 2 and it doesn't like to slip at all

 

[Red2000GT]

12-1300 on my street tires and 5500rpm on slicks.
