cool. i dont plan on ever doing this, but was just wondering since the launch technique seems to be common knowledge to a majority of members.

 

It is really the only way to launch the car. You can't ease out on the clutch because the car doesn't have enough torque. You have to have the car in the power band to be able to break the tires loose. For anyone who understands torque, it's a no brainer.

 

thanks for all the advice .......... like i said its not a daily thing that i will be doing but its nice to know what to do if iam stuck in a situation when iam caught at a light and a girl revs on me . i dont want to stall out by launching at 3000 like a regular honda

 

My S is more important to me than any silly girl that revs at me at some stop light....

well maybe if she flashed me or something.....

 

for some reason, this thread makes me really happy. =)

1. rev to 6-7k
2. drop the clutch
3. hold the rev till tires catch
4. it's go time! lol

ive done it twice so far on my 07. While the tires are spinning, u're gonna have to countersteer a bit because the tail of the car will start swerving. A few times won't do much damage so it's worth a try just to know how ur car reacts to certain things. It's also FUN!!!! and can get addicting.

 

no car is made for drag racing. it's too hard on the tranny and differentials, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it.




feather so you'll get grip without bogging.

just go in and out, in and out, in and out. you know how to do that, don't you? in and out, in and out. lol

 

It sure is fun.

So basically, exactly like I said in my original post?

 

IBanother totalled car

 

I met a guy last friday at the autobac meets in Socal. He told me that he or his brother that launch at 9k on their 2000 S2000. What you guys think about that? hahahhaa
I was SHOCKED and WTF!!!
