Youll feel bad when he breaks something dude, lol.

Since you probaly have street tires start out at low RPMs and build up.. at least thats what Id do. See which feels best and has the best traction without bogging down.

Don't dump the clutch. Always feather it. Especially on street tires. Good luck and enjoy yourself! It'll be the fastest 14.5 seconds ever!

AmBo is right dumping clutch didn't work for me when i was running N/A. It just bogs really bad then goes. Mind you that was with slicks. One time it Bogged and snapped my rear axle. hopefully that doesn't happen to you. I'm sure it won't on street tires. i think my rear end is 15 years old as well with who knows how many km's.

Bring the rpm's to about 2000 and feather the clutch out till she hooks and then run it as hard as you can!

 

[Blue_demon]

thanks a lot...

Ok its one of those days were every statement is taken literaly. I was just kidding about dumping the clutch gezzzzz . Anybody who doesnt know not to dump the clutch at 6500rpm doesnt need to have a mustang...or any other manual trans car.

 

[Blue_demon]

Also do I do a burn out or not...

thanks

 

[98blackmagic]

with street tires its point less, just a quick turn over to clean off dirt or track debis will be all you need.

Thank you somebody who did not have pi** in their corn flakes this morning. Who else can take a joke when they see one?

I would launch like you would pull out from the store or a light and ride the clutch a bit til she hooks, then lay into it and be prepared to pedal it(where you are on and off the gas to gain traction) if you still spin.
