no im not...i saw someone wrote up they launch better in 2nd gear...so that gets me really confused...i always thought u need to start your car in 1st gear from a stand still.... mmmm

Launching from 2nd gear is a great way to toast your clutch even faster than normal...

I was thinking of launching in 5th. Saves on shifting. {thumbup}

they probably meant starting out in second because they have so much power that they don't get any traction in first.

reverse is by far the best gear to launch in. anyone who knows anything about cars know this :rolleyes:

Be sure to have the back of your car facing forward when attempting to launch in reverse...

I rev mine up to 6800 in neutral and then (without pushing the clutch in) I slam it into gear-works great!Jk :rolleyes:

do it in 5th gear, backwards....then you should have all of your bases covered

and take care not to spill your :beer:
