Sure, but tell that to all the guys that can't get their S2000 going hard from a dig.

You'd be surprised how many horrible drivers out there own this (and many other) sports car.

 

I still have my CDV in place. No issues on launch.

 

I still have mine in place but I actually like it cause it smoothes out the ride.

The CDV doesn't apply to the OP, unless I'm wrong, I thought only the AP2 had a CDV.

 

after watching the video on best motoring where its the ap1 vs ap2.

i tried to study the drift king's launch technique as best i can.

he seemed to launch the car at 7k! but there seemed to be minimal slip before the tires caught

it does not appear he slips or drops the clutch. he just lets it go fast but keeps his foot there just in case i guess. but what he does is he feathers the foot applying gas if he thinks the rpms are dropping or keeping it steady until the tires grip.

maybe some other people should analyze the video to either confirm or contradict my statement.

You're right but we were just talking openly about either one.

removed mine =] i felt the slip under aggressive redline shifting, so i could only help but think how much pain the clutch must be going through on a launch.

 

With a proper launch, the tires break free fairly easily, so it's actually EASIER on the clutch than if you feather/modulate it to launch.

I do feel mine slip if I don't do a perfect shift at redline, but it is possible to drive the car at the limit (in terms of acceleration) and not get slip.

 

AHHHHHHHHH!

FREE THINKERS!!!!

 

Be careful when launching, everyone. A lot of people have blown their diff cause they didn't know what they were doing
