Default Best way to launch

Hi, just like to know how you guys are launching? Not for racing, just a quick start from a stand still.

I still haven't found a thread that addressed how high RPM launches might be affected by the clutch delay valve on the AP2 cars. Most people seem to agree that dumping the clutch at 6000-7000 RPM is the fastest way to do it, but you really can't "dump" the AP2s clutch or you just trigger the delay valve and your clutch slips like crazy. I'd be really afraid to dump it at high RPM for fear of glazing the clutch.

Here is a video sirbunz (in his white CR) posted in the R&C forum.

He still has the clutch delay valve.

Any questions?

Autocross + S2000s =

just slip the clutch at around 6k. thats what i do at the track. if its around a street maybe 4k....

im sure there going to be at lot of people posting "S2000s arent for drags or launching or s2000 isnt your car" dont listen to them. its your car and you can do anything with it. but with that said you gonna pay to play....
