Launching off the line Hi everyone!!! I have a BS 06 impy ss and I wanted to see how much power this baby holds... Thing is that I've never driven a car by using the 1-2-3 selectors... I've been told to slap it in 2 and launch out, but I don't quite know how to even "launch" a car... Yes I admit i am a complete novice on this part... I do have knowledge on what RPM's are and what "redlining" a engine is... What I'm asking is how to do this correctly and if I should even try it at all( don't wanna stress the tranny, they are suspect already).. Any info will be greatly appreciated!! Thanx people!!

I said mode. 
It hits limiter and has paddles, it's full manual. Some have a "manual' mode, where you can select the gear but it shifts on its own anyway.
I'm gonna install a fake clutch just to screw with you.

Thanks for the replys!!! But I thought the reving to such a high rpm and dropping it in gear thing was a no-no.. I've seen my cousin do it in his and he took off from 1st and slapped the selector around like it owed him money all the way back to D...

@1bad06mcss- don't worry I wasn't... I'm not that much of a novice!!! Lol... I was just asking because I've seen my cuz use his 1-2-3 gears(starting in 1 not N of couse) and it seemed like he was tearing the blacktop a new one!!!
