I hate the tires that on my car (RE730's), but I am too cheap to just throw them away, so.....
tonight to quick the wearing out, i dropped the clutch at 9k or so, and....... WWWWOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! I was in VTEC, sideways but moving forward for a pretty good distance!
I tried another at about 8k and that was more ideal for racing someone... vtec, but not way way too much wheelspin.
I tried just one more at 7k and it barely spun and bogged a little.
That was my first real big RPM launch... no clutch smell, just fun.
Scot - i had my S2000chris hat on tonight.

Try some donuts in your local mall's parking lot; You'll get rid of those pesky tires in no time. I'm not sure Honda's engineers had drag racing in mind when they designed this little gem; however, I must admit I've had more than one stoplight grand prix myself.
