How to launch

[boon240]

ignore the topic name. i put the wrong topic name in the wrong section.

me and a friend of mine both have 240's. We been praticing on how to get a good takeoff but can't. Is there a certain way you have to rev or release clutch. plz help.

[masticatingcow]

Depends on the tires, the pavement, the clutch, the engine... it really isn't something someone can just tell you and then you go and do it. Practice more before you decide you just "can't" do it.

just wondering how old are u

[The 240 kid]

I'll guess 17-18.

I can launch my 240 at around 4200 rpm with minimal tire spin.....on some worn out nitto nt450's

oh yea did i mention that i have a lsd?

[boon240]

i'm 18 and me and a friend only do this when we;re bore. I usually rev it to 3,500 and it'll peel and move at the same time, but i also heard that taking off without peeling out is better.

Let me ask you this, what exactly have you done to your car? Or do you just wanna be fast and furious?

[Nameless EJ6]

Breaking traction won't move the car too well.

There's a big hint.

i launch perfect on my s14 im only 17 haha yea u dont want too much tire spin cause that = no acceleration duh

[sensibleS13driver]

you need to have a little tire spin in order to keep te car fom bogging... launch at 3500 i say and feather the gas to keep spinning down and then floor i once it grips.

[sensibleS13driver]

i'm 18.

wrong, your profile says you're 17; at least i admit I'm young and dumb.

Who the hell cares how old he and his friend are?! You people need to lighten up. It's not like he asked a stupid, way out there/should have seached, type question. Jeeze people.

By the way, pretty funny sig SensibleS13driver

^ I agree... I dont think he did anything stupid to deserve flaming.

feathering the throttle is something you need to learn how to do. especially if you have turbo plans
