pretty interesting to see the physics of it all. there was one black evo in particular who would have had much better traction if the if the car wasn't so stiffly sprung. It was bucking back and forth a ton. may have just been a bad launch though.

This also the first time I've seen this. Great to see so many AWD launches.

It makes me wonder if the differentials are doing the best job possible?

Very interesting vid. Now what is it telling us? Which ones are good and bad launches, and WHY?

this would be a good tool to use if you were trying to get your launch right for a new car. have like a slowmow of the car launching with a lil side square with a clutch foot/tach shot or something
