6mt or 7AT? What kind of tires? What Pressure did you use? VDC on or off?

I usually drop my tire pressure to 25-28ish. i rev to about 3500k and roll the clutch till I feel a little bite then drop it. Get a little spin and wheel hop but after a few times of doing it, you can get a better feel of how the cars going to respond. Depending on tires, you will either need to roll more or feather more between clutch and peddle. VDC on in this car will destroy your times cause if you powershift, it'll bog everytime.

I hold it at 2k RPM, feather, and go. Got out of the dig fast till my clutch glued itself to the flywheel haha. Not anymore with the ceramic disk I have now.

Track prep makes a big difference..

You can't launch at 3500 or 2500 here on street tires..


If your at a good track that's prepped all the way down. It's probably your launch and your shifting that got you that time.

Also don't forget density altitude.

Question, do you guys just redline first then powershift or do you short shift first?
