Ive been practicing launching on my stock evo for a couple months now and i find the best way i launch is reving between 4-5 rpms and on the uprev, slipping the clutch. Though this technique works best i burn out for a couple seconds, then take off. Ive seen other evos launch there cars without any burns outs, just straight hooking (dead hooking). I was wonder if anyone knew a technique on how to do that.

 

It that some sort of low budget necrophilia?

to be somewhat productive and not just a smart a** if you want to avoid the wheelspin you have to release the clutch slower and maybe a slightly lower RPM. It's of course harder on your clutch. A little lite wheel spin is good BTW but if you feel the car "sitting there" then that's obviously too much

 

k thanks... ill try slipping at lower rpms and releasing the clutch slower..

 

I always aired up my tires a few psi to promote a little bit of wheel spin , just to lessen the shock a little, you could always try going down a little in your case.

 

Are you practicing lauching the car on the street or at the track? At first, I practiced on the street a few times before going to the drag strip, and the wheels spun nearly every time. With the better/stickier track surface at the dragstrip, I encountered no wheel spin at all with the same launch sequence.
