So what exactly is the technique to get the S to do good off the line? I've heard drop the clutch at 7000 RPM, but do you ease the gas after that, or floor it? Wouldn't you get a lot of wheel spin?

 

you get wheelspin for about 1-2 secs until the wheels grab.

 

so your floor it after the clutch drop?

 

yes. if you're quick enough, while keeping your foot on the accelerator, depress the clutch and shift.

 

For off the line, the one time I launched for max effect was by revving to about 6-6.5K, sidestepping the clutch so it pops up (no feathering or slipping whatsoever) lighting up the rear tires, and Woohooo. Anymore than 6.5K and I think you're just making expensive smoke and no immediate conversion into forward motion.

Also, i know in my prelude, you can shift at certain RPM's without the clutch. Where is this RPM range on the S2000?
