Get a good feel for the clutch and for how many revs you can give it for the perfect launch. Also remember you dont go on green, you go on the last yellow.
Thanks. I don't want anyone to think I am a total novice at driving. I can heel-toe (won't do me any good in a straight line). I know the proper shift points, and with over 3,000 miles on the Z, I have a good feel for the clutch. I guess I'm looking for some protocal stuff, like your tip on going on the last yellow.
