See guys it isn't that simple. Jasons advice about shocking the tires into spinning is true, you must dump the clutch quickly. However, something can break at any time, the only advice would be, keep the rear end light, low fuel and no spare or baggage, also raise your tire pressures to about 38 psi cold, this will help them spin freely. Even with these precautions, you never know BRO.

I have a bad taste in my mouth from all this and have done 3 launches total since my clutch was replaced about 7 months or 8k milles ago... They were all at AutoX events.

Yeah, Our diff is weak, but isn't bad.

Jason, If you have any problems, just take your car to Menlo Honda and talk to Chuck. He'll take care of ya.

Sorry about the short reply... I am in an internet cafe in Rome
