Launch RPM Hi everyone,
I was wondering what is the best RPM/way to launch a bolt-on M6 00' T/A with street tires making around 360rwhp.
Usually I get it up to about 1800 and baby it off the line with a touch of wheel sping but it seems like its bogging until it gets up to 3500rpm. If I launch it at 2500-3000 I just sit there and spin....I need advice...HELP!
Note: I dont have the budget for a 12 bolt right now so DR's are out of the equation. I have 315/35/17 sumitomo's with 17x11 ZR1's.
I am going to the track in the next couple months and I want to hit high 12's and I know I can do it if I launch the car correctly.

Are you heating them up good enough? A 315 should net you decent 60' times on well prepped track and good clutch work. A 245 nitto on another set of tires would really help and save your rear.

can you be more specific? not to be stupid or an ******* cause Im not either.
I just get her up to 3k and then ease the clutch until I am ready to just let it out all the way and the car will jump fast without a lot of spin?

I think a lot of people break their 10 bolt because they can't drive and beat the **** out of the car every day. I always got the impression that if you launch it well and have some power it's toast. Lately I have been reneging on those feelings.
