Hi there all.
I was wondering what launch technique individuals prefer for their respective vehicles, 6, 8 auto and manual. While i understand that everyone, and every vehicle is different it might be interesting to get some others thoughts on this..... Personally i prefer the sympathic getaway with minimal wheelspin via VERY slight ride of the clutch with around 2000 rpm dialled up and nail it from there, my car only spinning the wheels briefly in first and the change into second, shifting (with varying degrees of success !) just before the rev cut. This tecnique seems to work.... although I havent run at the track, only traffic light grandpre And what about peoples tried and true burnout technique....... does anyone rely on their stock clutch to hold a 5000 rpm dump in second gear.... Can someone please explain why MOST V8 supercar drivers use a full rev (on the limiter) launch... slipping the clutch as they go ? Surely it can't be because 450 KW and 700 NM can't get 1650 kg off the line with say ONLY 3500 rpm clutch dump. my car.. 03 XR8 sedan 5 speed, Phantom, Leather, CAI, exhaust, Flash tune, Herrod suspension, alloys, AP Racing 4 spot brakes |
