is 6000 rpm clutch drop safe 4 the clutch?
i wanted to learn how to burn out in the Z, so i did a search on the forum and ppl were saying that u need to do a 6000 rpm clutch drop. i just wanted to know if that is safe. for some reason i feel like if i do that the clutch will shatter to pieces.
as previously said, i would recommend staying between 2.5k~3k rpm for a good launch, especially with the stock clucth and flywheel. They hold enough inertia to where any higher is over kill.
if you do happen to "drop" the clutch at 6k, i'm sure it won't be the best thing for you, or the car. What i would suggest is learn how to "pre-load" the clutch, even when only launch at 2.5~3k rpm. What i mean when i say this is, when you are holding the rpm, slowly release the clutch until you can feel it just barely beginning to catch. if you do this, you eliminate alot of the drivetrain shock that occurs on just a hard drop. it will also help get rid of a good amount wheel hop. if you can learn how to preload properly, once you get some bigger meat outback, you could launch at a higher rpm and take advantage of the rubber without causing as much harm to the tranny and clutch as you would with a drop.

NO WAY YOU CRAZY!!!! Your axles will snap. THats just stupid with no slicks or suspension work. Even if you ride the clutch your Gonna BURN OUT YOUR CLUTCH.
As for the 6K clutch drop. I have read some of your posts, and to be honest, you do not need or diserve the car you have.

By the way... How I broke my rear diff cover was doing a burn long burn out, then when I went to launch the drag strip I was at had just finished spraying that sticky stuff on the track, I got tons of wheel hop and POP! I launched at 2500 but tires didnt grab... when it got up to 5k POP :-/

it wasnt my idea to do a 6k drop. do a search for "burnout" and u will see that it was other ppls posts that said that
burning out/ launching in the Z over 3k is too much, no need to. be happy thatyou dont have to launch at a high rpm for the car to move.... fyi if the honda s2000 drivers when racing from a stop launch at 6k for vtec kick in, or they will lose to even slower cars from a stop, every set-up is different.
