How to achieve 0-60 from stop?

uhh...please enlighten me how was i street-racing when I didn't even dump clutch? Like I said, I start off from 1st at ~1500 rpm and I don't even go beyond 55 mph.

No, I did not try to beat a CR-V. That would be silly of me even trying to do so. That's why I said the CR-V just flied by me while me accelerating as I usually do. And no, I usually shift at 2-3k in every gear. My point is, with this car, even if i just accelerate normally, shouldn't I be able to beat regular sedan or SUV at ease?

Ok. Let's say when you stop at a light and you're the first car, now that you're starting from 1st, when (at what rpm) do you shift to 2nd?

When I "shift" slowly at 3k in every gear, I often find myself being "pushed" by some a-hole pickup from behind.

They way I launch is rev to 2k let the clutch out like normal and once you feel it hook up don't just floor the gas instantly that only causes tire spin or traction control to kick in if you have it turned on. Once the clutch is out I gradually increase throttle input. Also, make sure your tires are warmed up for best traction. If you let a CR-V beat you definitely doing something wrong. Why are you shifting out of 1st at 4k anyway? You are trying to beat the CR-V right?

Thank You, Chris

Op, I would suggest to do your learning at a local track or on a private street.

Please refrain from making anymore comments of trying to learn on a public street.

What you're engaging is by all means illegal in public, and if you feel it's NOT Try it with a Police Car nearby and let's us know how it went.

PLEASE do your learning launches at the track where it belongs or a PRIVATE road.

NO other Warning will be given.

Thank You.
