launch
 

what is the safest method and rpm to launch the RA at? I usually brake torque around 3000 rpm but i was wondering what other people do. I have only launched like three times cuz i don't wanna break anything if im not doing it right lol

I think this has been discussed in numerous threads. One method is to use a pumping motion with the foot just before launch to around 3k and then let go the brakes and pretty much floor it.

I like lunch...oh you mean launch :D best to use the search function here bro.

aight thanks for your help guys! {thumbup}

Tap the gas till it reaches 3,500 - 4,000 rpm and then go WOT! Dont press on the brakes when you do it, just tap the gas multiple times till you reach the desired rpm.

For me that is the safest route to take.

You don't have to hold the brakes?? If not... this definitely sounds like the best method. What track times did you get using your method?

safest? brake boosting is 1000% better and poses no risk either.

Westbound&down: In my book, from a complete stop, tapping the gas till you reach your desired rpm and then going WOT is better for your tranny. What you do with yours is your thing.

captobvious75: Yeah! No need to hold the brakes, when your completely stopped just tap the gas quickly till desired rpm and then go WOT!! I did not track my car yet :( Soon, very soon :)

?? You must have a magical foot because my RA accelerates when I tap the gas from a stop with no brakes. Am I missing something here?

well perhaps you should look into the mechanics of a transmission then, so we can be on the same or similar pages. "Tapping" the gas until you reach xxxx rpms does nothing but pre rev the engine, saving you next to no time. Its a placebo effect.

And like razor, im curious how you tap the gas and go no where without your foot on the brake?!

neutral dump?

Not a neutral dump :) Tap your gas rapidly when stopped, when your rpm goes up to where you want it, just go wot!
Its almost like a standard tranny, you pre rev it just like you had your foot on the clutch, but you cant hold the rpm, and then you go wot.

The car is in drive, without ASC on and sport mode!

hahaha awesome.

Either I cant explain right or you guys cant read right, I dont know how else to say it. Pre rev rapidly and go WOT!

I understood what you were saying lol I just thought his comment was funny for some reason
