Okay guys so when i line up on the line to race with my evo 7 and i dump the gas until the launch control comes in at 6500rpms with 12psi boost i jus pop the clutch and my car skates of the line like a front wheel drive... i dropped the tire pressure to about 28psi and that didnt help at all... any ideas to what might be causing this?

 

why are you "popping" the clutch?...

 

be nice and smooth, feather the clutch out.

if that doesnt help buy some D/R'S

 

Dont feather more than 2-3secs most beginners burn up the clutch by riding it to long.... popping it your looking at damaging the drivetrain.

 

2-3 secs it soo long to feather a clutch... im talking second or less.

 

treat it like a lady, nice and smooth

 

ok this is something i dont understand....

with evo 9's...dont we have launch control so we can dump the clutch? I guess i assumed this was in place so we didnt have damage to the drivetrain.

Correct me if im wrong here...this has been something ive wondered for a long time

 

well i have been dumping the gas and popping the clutch from ever since just i realize that it make no sense burning out from the launch and my subaru opponents and getting ahead of me because they are not skating on their launch... so tell me guys don't pop? i dont mind skating but not too much..... i tried riding the clutch but the car jus bugs down!!!

 

what is D/R's?

 

drag radials?

 

sureee you can dump your clutch if you want your drivetrain to get damaged...
you're supposed to hold the clutch in with car in 1st, start the launch control, depress the clutch until you feel it start to bite, feather the pedal out more and when its about 1/2 to 3/4 the way out, you can pull your foot off and "dump it"...

 

This is probably the best explanation I've heard yet. Someone should come with a slow-motion video that actually shows you how to do it. I read a lot of explanations for launching prior to racing my car the first couple of times but none of them really made a whole lot of sense in words. I finally figured out how to do it just by trial and error.

 

How many RPMs in first before beginning to let the clutch pedal down slowly?

 

explain what your asking, not sure.

 

While on 1st, with clutch pedal fully depressed, how high in RPMs one should be before starting to let go of the clutch pedal (slowly).
