And you're wondering why you have mechanical problems?!

 

I never got around to trying this launch method. I don't think a good launch is worth the trauma on the drivetrain, especially when so many warranty repairs are being declined due to "abuse".

 

My opinion is that the car is overtired and over "diffed" for the motor's torque curve. You either slip the clutch and burn it up or you pop the clutch and impact the diff, possibly spin the tires.

Greg, I think you put it best- it's not a drag car!

 

you guys need to be carefull as Honda considers a clutch to be a wear item and not covered by warranty, They cost about $1,300 to replace

 

Keep in mind that once you burn your clutch it becomes progressively easier to do the each following time. Kind of a snow ball effect.
Don't forget about replacing the clutch with a much better, and actually less expensive performance clutch as an option. Parts and labor are always a dealer's cash cow so they'll rape ya on 'em. And...don't worry about them voiding your warranty, there are laws about them voiding the warranty because of aftermarket parts being used.
