Default How to Launch My 6 speed Stock?

On a totally stock car with a 3:42 rear how will I have the best results lauching the car? Do I need to totally baby it? Dump it at all? Will my 1/4 pick up if i don't spin it at all? Thanks Brandon.

youjust havee to practice...everyone does it differently and each car reacts differently. everyone told me to birng the revs and and slip the clutch trying to keep the rpms around 2500-3000 while spinning slighty. not matter what i spin a lot and have to short **** 1st...so then I tried doing the same at 2k rpms and would bog....it just takes a lot of practice and abuse on your clutch and rear.

Like Brandon said, just get some seat time and practice. Thats really all you can do. Alot of people try different things.

I dont really like riding the clutch, because I have a spec and its a pos. I try to pedal it more than anything and it works ok, I can hook half *** decently on the street. Track is totally different.
