Launch Technique?
Hey guys, been forever since I've raced a FWD car, just wondering what everyone else has found to be the best launching technique? I'm assuming the AWD DSM 6000rpm slip and dump won't help me much with the RA

Okay so you have no input then... 
Anyone else? I think about 300-4000 rpm slip and feather is the preferred method for FWDs but was hoping somebody had a few more details for me.

Geeze, SOMEONE has no sense of humour....
If you want a great launch w/ minimal wheelspin then your best bet is to slip the clutch at about 3800-4000. This is what has worked for me on both my old RSX and on the RA. Another idea for you is take your car out and do some trial and error yourself.
Everyone may have different results based on they're mods (like tires and suspension for example).

I've found that launching at anything over 4000rpm with the stock rubber will just leave you spinning your wheels. I would say try to launch between 3500 and 3800. I havent figured it out completely yet though, my best 60' is 2.29.
