Stage 2 launching - Whats your method? It seems like slipping the clutch isn't all that great on..
this car... I've tried to rev to about 3200k and slip it and I toast the clutch with even a bit of slip.. so much that second gear doesn't want to catch sometimes. Given that, is dropping the clutch the more prefered method on this car? What RPM is best?

i blip throttle between 3300 and 3700 ish then pop the clutch trying to catch the revs on the
upswing and floor it. Video of my 1.70 60' is in my sig (I think it still works). I tried to slip it once in my A6 and spun the clutch. never tried since then.

For that launch (1.70 60' in my sig) I had Blizzak Snow Tires on, with 36 psi in the fronts and 34
psi in the rears, I also had stock suspension. Now I still have stock suspension, but have BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW tires (stock size 225) they may be the KDW 2's, I am not sure. I think they are the stock tires from the Neon SRT-4. Either way, I have only been to the drag strip once with these new tires, and I wasn't able to cut a 60' time better than 1.80, not sure why, could just be I got lucky with the 1.70. Also, I was launching with the same tire pressure 36/34.
