Best Launch Technique for Basically Stock M6 Cars
I was wondering how other M6 guys/gals get their best launches on near stock cars. I went to the track Saturday for the first time ever and my best 60' time was 2.25 . I was launching at 2K RPM's and feathering the clutch to minimize spin. I just wanted to know what the best technique for my current setup would be? Please note I am still on stock tires as well. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I lowere the rear pressure to 22 psi. Go around the water box & do a small burnout to dust off the tires. rev to 1200 rpm and dump the clutch as I mash the gas 2.0 60' on stock tires every time. I just bought Nitto's, so we will see how that goes soon.

It takes getting use too but I would do a quick 1K slip as I accelerate and bring the clutch up quick and then hammer down at the same time.It took a while to master it but even after the nittos I used the same technique with more RPM to keep the 10 bolt alive.I usually got 2.0 but never 1.9X on street tires and low 1.8 and a few 1.79's on nittos.

On my totally stock Trans Am, I would rev the engine to 2000 to 2500 rpm.Start letting the clutch out but let it slip a bit to keep the engine from bogging. You usually want to get a very slight squeak from the tires and the clutch should be all the way out by the 60ft mark. I found this worked to get me some 1.80 60fts and 12.80s-12.90s at the track. It took a lot of practice to get it right. I usually just heat the tires enough to clean them off.
