I need some assistance on how to launch a stick vette im no amature but for some reason I cant launch my vette like my previous cars.The questions I would like to ask is like at what rpm do you dump or do your slip your clutch a little at launch.Well hope you guys can help

2500 slip the clutch for the first ten feet or so and then roll on the throttle. If the tires/pavement is warm there shouldn't be any wheel-hop and you are on your way.
If you are asking about launching a six speed what does 427TTA4 mean?

Oh LOL the 427 means you know the powerful 427 ci engine of course you know what TT means its TwinTurbo.A4 I guess you know because you pointed it out it is because I used to own a 98 auto transam.Thats the setup I wanted but since I traded it in and got my vette I jus didnt want to change my name I guess thats why I cant seem to remember to launch because I didnt drive a stick for a while before I owned integras then upgraded to a 96 mystic cobra and then came the trans for 2 1/2 and the vette followed till the present.

well the main reason im askin is because I raced a modified sti at a light and he took of lets say around a 2 1/2 car lead and I had to play catch up till mid of third.Then a major bolt-on GT the stang got a 1 1/2 car lead on me and I played catch up again and I know it is not my reaction its the way I take of but like they say practice makes perfect I guess ima jus start practicing.Thanks for all of you guys inputs but im still open for ways to improve my ft. times

set of bf goodwrench dr's, upgrade the clutch and hardened output shafts and you should be able to tear a stock driveterrain/non dr sti up out of the whole.

Get some drag radials or you'll more than likely wheelhop your way into broken drivetrain parts.

5k dump or slight clutch slip with drag radials. Street tires get a 3500rpm slip out o the hole.

DTE Stage V, Stage 4+ T56, Bad *** clutch, DR's and bounce it off the rev limiter! Not really a set of DR's and dumping at 4000 rpm's works very well for me. I also put it in competitive driving mode.

I have tried his techiniques and they work great. Every car is different and so is the driver. I got rid of the stock rear tires and got a set of nittos. Big differance! It is a great writeup and Ranger can drive like a ****!

I drove on Hoosier QTP's for a while. They would hook on 4500 rpm drop, on a 200 shot from a red light. I felt real good. I have never got to hook on drag radials or street tires.

I have a stupid question,Did you take the Traction controll off,are you trying to launch in competition mode

I run with the car in competition mode.

No I take the traction control off.

2MuchRiceMakesMeSick

competition mode for me....why would you turn the traction control and the active handling off? Just hold down the button for ~10 seconds

I dont know but I dont think my vette has competitive driving mode so just hold it for 10 secs thats it?
