Drop tire psi to 24 ish then light them up make sure they are hot, then rev at about 2000-2200 and dump the clutch! Fast and easy... more power rev at 3 and slip the clutch!

 

Every driver has a different technique. The street is a difficult place to judge technique (you have no measurement tool). Go to the dragstrip and practice. I’m happy with 2.0 second 60-foot times on DOT tires. Just practice.

 

good to know....this is my first rear wheel car. my old audi i used to rev it at 5000k and dump the clutch. slight squeal and 60' was 1.7 consistantly....not surprisingly after about 5 trips to the track, my tranny was toast.....german parts cost an arm and a leg..

 

Its a ***** when that killer 60' comes into play and you loose a gamblers race because of it...

 

LOL. I just noticed the time slip. I lost the race!

 

Gamblers is a ***** with an MT trans. Im still getting use to my Z, Ive launched a whole lot of 6 times at the track...

I could, however, win Gamblers like it was my job. I had a 2004 Scion xB 5MT with bolt ons. I would hit 17.2 like it was cool... EVERYtime. Not a cool car, but with .00X R/Ts I looked like the man!!
