Rolling start compared to standing start

PhillyGT · May 28th, 2010, 05:42 PM

This might be a dumb question but my gt is soooooooo much faster taking off at about 10mph than a regular launch. I've got 4.10's and Hankooks HRII's so if i just drop the clutch it will spin all day. I can walk it out of first and get a pretty good launch.What gives?

If you had this car you wouldn't have this problem... you need a bigger wing and slicks

PhillyGT · May 28th, 2010, 06:25 PM

I cant see the pic

PhillyGT · May 28th, 2010, 06:27 PM

It seriously pulls really hard from about 5-10mph.Not so much from a standing start

Dont drop the clutch as hard when you launch and you wont spin as bad.

Its because your already in your powerband as well. Cars always make more power at a higher RPM, so your already around... ima guess like 2-3k RPMs so if you gas it then you will get more get up and go. It just feels faster because the torque is spontaneous instead of a more gradual approach than coming out from a dead stop.

I dont drop the clutch,i walk it out of first to take off

Your launch from a stop should be faster than a rolling start. The goal is to have the tires spin just a bit or not at all. If you make a bunch of smoke and leave dark black tracks, you will go slower.

I could smoke 1st, then second, and not go 20'. It may be fun, but its not fast.

Finally saw the pic of thhat "carbon fiber" honda 600.It's AWESOME.

flyin ryan · May 29th, 2010, 02:13 AM

ride the clutch more... don't let it out so fast and don't launch at such a high rpm. it takes a bit of pratice

LoveStangs88 · June 5th, 2010, 04:06 AM

that thing looks nuts lol

69fastback · June 5th, 2010, 10:28 AM

Everyone thinks drag racing is as easy as standing in it and going. It takes a lot of practice to be able to figure it out.

Timm10221 · June 5th, 2010, 10:52 AM

I agree 100%!

89pigeontoe · June 5th, 2010, 02:14 PM

Spinnin ain't winnin. Ull figure it out.

psycho bob · June 5th, 2010, 02:45 PM

what's worse is when you've learned your car pretty damn good then you change something and have to start all over
