Is it bad for our car if we launch continuously from the hole alot. For example, is it bad for the axles or any thing else?

bad advice in my opinion. for someone, like me, who does not do such launches, if ANYTHING is slightly resembling excessive wear when they do my TSB's, I will be denied warranty claims and will pay the entire cost of parts and labor out of my own pocket because of too many people like you who constantly perform such actions.

yes, it will hurt the car, yes, it will decrease the reliability in the tranny/clutch/differential. if you do it, well... no one is stopping you, just keep it to yourself.

i dont beat on my car.. but i do vtec it ALOT . but, when i have a race from a stop, you have to launch the car. theres no other way to win! do you guys think launching every once in a while is going to harm anything ?! (just lie to me and say no.)

I don't do 7000rpm launching at all. (i never launching over 3000rpm)

in my opinion launching at high rpm is not a good thing, unless you want to replace clutch and rear tires very often.

This issue really aggrevates me.

Has anyone ever seen Honda advertise that the car can do 0-60 MPH in less than 6 seconds?

And how are you suppost to accomplish that without launching the car?
