Launching How-To
 

I was wondering if someone would explain the proper way to launch a camaro when you want to race someone but do not want to ruin your tranny? Btw i have a 94 v6Camaro, ive never raced anyone but id the chance should arise id like to know the best way to do it, thanks

auto, or manul?

manual man

bounce it against the rev limiter and let it go, probably wont spin the tires it missing 2 cylinders n all :lolsign:

ouch...lol. the way i did it in my car was like around 2 grand maybe a little more, then dump the clutch. maybe you should try more than that tho cause your car might bog when dumping the clutch at that RPM without a whole lot of power. just practice it and see what works best. thats what i finally did.

every track and car will be different play with the rpm's and slip the clutch until you get the best times

and dumping the clutch will slow you down, and break parts it's too big a shock to the drive line.Basically you rev the engine get the clutch to the edge of where it holds (that's really fun to hold it there)on last yellow ease the clutch up and gas down

wouldnt gassing down while easing up on the clutch burn the clutch out? or is it unavoidable?

clutchs burn up thats what they do, how much they clamp depends on teh quality of clutch u get

exactly,do you want to wear the clutrch faster or scatter, clutch, trans and rear all over teh place

Wow, you two agreed again! I don't know what's going on.

hmmm im gonna have to start posting false info so arch can disagree again cuz this is getting rediculous :lolsign:

what about in an auto... which is the proper way to launch then?

hold down the brake, rev up to right before where your tires would start spinning, then when the lights drop, off the break and all on the gas ;) or get a stall :)

if it was automatic:)

...which is what paarman asked....;)

foot firmly on the brake still need to play with rpm's to get best time last yellow off the brake and ease down the gas (unless you like wheel spin)

every auto trans has a stall converter that's it's job, and just helps to keep teh engine in the powerband
