Re: Awww heck! I need some AWD launching advice.

1.2 second 60 foot my ass. Show us a slip to prove it, or cut the BS.

Launch technique depends on a lot of things like power level, type of clutch, type of tires, track surface, etc. There's no magic formula for every car. One basic is slipping the clutch a bit, works for 9 out of 10 setups here. The rest of it is by feel.

I used to drop the clutch at 4500 rpms and spun my way to mostly 1.8's on shitty tires at slippery falls with about 390 whp. I'll be modifying my procedure quite a bit this year with alot more power and some sticky Nittos if I ever get them back from Ecoli.
