Launching my car . . . H3LP M3

[Cashizslick]

ok, how exactly are you supposed to launch a FWD car? Everytime i launch ,its like at 3.5k and i peel out. . . . if i launch at 3 i bog down. You guyz got any tips for me or anyting?

launch at 3.5 and let it peel out until ur wheels grab and get traction and ta da you just launched

ya, its not goona feel right at first but do as he said. launch at about 3.5 the tires are gonna start to spin and the revs will go up, but as soon as they grab the revs will come back down and you can rev it to where you normally shift to 2nd.

In any car, you can't just dump the clutch and do massive burnouts...Feather the clutch, see when you get best traction without excessive wheelspin...Chirp the tires, don't let them start rotating and smokin', y0!

Practice, practice, practice... don't be heavyfooted about it either. You just have to feel for that right balance of gas and clutch pedal.

press the clutch
press the throttle
rev to 8500 rpm
remove foot from clutch as fast as possible

you dont need to go to 8500 rpm just to do a burnout
