Best Launch Technique?

[andrewrx7]

I guess this has been discussed before, but couldn\'t find much after doing a search.

Any recommendations on how to get the best launch from your car? (General road spec, not adapted for the drag strip). Lots of revs and dump the clutch? Or low revs - get it rolling then WOT? etc...etc.....

Cheers!

You need to be on boost for the best launch, won\'t do your clutch much good though.

here\'s a quality (in a funny way) launch video. This cat is sliding all over the place. If he had been on a track with other cars, imagine the carnage that would have ensued.
