Straight up 4 wheel spin doesn't damage the tranny like wheelhop, of which I get none.

What about the clutch? And what RPM's are you launching at? Thanks Warr!

Then, I stage and launch without spinning.

Yep I'm right there with Warr. Nice burnout to clean them off and put just a little heat in them. I have video of me doing them since 04.

And fwiw, I didn't start doing it until after seeing Ivan do it. I used to do it on my DSMs, but never bothered on my Evo when it was lower-powered. As I got to the point where I started having wheelspin problems, I started doing the burnout to prepare the tires for a sticky launch.
