Best way to launch a 2k2?
I searched and couldnt find anything similar, i figured i would ask the guys who are in the lower 14's with their 2k2 6 speeds..

Im gonna head out to the track soon and i want to know what rpm is best to launch at, and how much gas/clutch off the line. Our cars have a lot of power for a FWD car, and its hard to get a nice launch without spinning too much

I have been launching mine at around 1500 - 2000 RPM and lightly slipping the clutch. My average 60' times haven't been as good as some people but my clutch is in perfect health because of it.
