We could always go Fat Albert and use JATO.

I've seen that actually. One of my professors shot a 60's pickup truck off the deck when he was in Vietnam. They had hidden it on the carrier and would off load and reload it at night when on leaves. They got caught with it and had 2 days to get rid of it when they were a week off from their next dock. They took lots of pictures...:tup:

Top Gear UK did it too. That's how they got rid of the last stig before they got the new white stig. They show him driving off but in the cut away you see the steam vent from the CATO.

The best way to launch a 2010 370Z is to drive it like it's a 2009 370Z when launching...

Jason 02-17-2010 04:18 PM

^ that's exactly how I would do it

Yawn. Lets quit pussy-footing around. JATO or no-go.

Gently! This should help ensure you have many years od trouble free driving.
Why do you need to launch, are you an astronaut?:shakes head:

Fast, you should do it fast.

Guys how many of these launches would you say the stock lsd survive? Or is drifting what wears the lsd? I'm looking to driving and drifting courses in the car but would like to how sparingly i'd have to do it.

thanks in advance.

if you plan to track or drift, remove factory lsd immediately and get the one in my sig:tup:

The stock VLSD will handle launches just fine, however it is going to suck for drifting, not enough lock up and overheats quickly. Most drifters go for a 2-way clutch LSD so that you get decel lock up as well as accel lock up.

Right no idea what you mean but I'll read up on it, that's for the heads up.
