Well, still learning the car but for now I launch at 1500rpm on the street with a semi-quick feather of the clutch. I get very little whell spin and almost no lag on clutch release.

I launch my 5spd at approx. 2750RPM. On my 18's, 2500RPM kinda bogs and 3k smokes 'em so I needed a happy medium.

EDIT: That was last season when I had the stock 3.27's. Now that I have my 3.73's, I'm probably going to have to change my technique.

Thanx, I am trying to get it featured in a Magazine, but I guess they only feature "Rich Boy" cars! (maybe I'll win the lottery this year)

I would launch at 3500 and feather just a bit and I might get a chirp out of the tires and I was off...
