Advice on good launching

mounder27 · March 15th, 2009, 03:14 PM

look at my sig, that will be the result of no sway bar and loose shocks and struts.

trueblue02GT · March 15th, 2009, 03:18 PM

haha i like. not sure about doing the shocks and struts tho haha. maybe i'll just upgrade those eventually. Also i'm buying kenny brown rear lower control arms...poly/poly so handling will suck but hopefully my launch will kick dick

mounder27 · March 15th, 2009, 04:06 PM

yeah i have nearly full suspension done, the solid control arms uppers and lower are an excellent mod to prevent wheel hop, but i would say the shocks and struts make a huge difference in wieght transfer.

i do 2nd gear burnout lil smokey than take it to 4k.. and let it slip lil than putr to the floor board

mounder27 · March 15th, 2009, 04:33 PM

some slicks will fix all the traction issues....

trueblue02GT · March 15th, 2009, 04:35 PM

Lol i'm not at the drags all the time tho so i'm either gonna use nice street tires or maybe drag radials

i had nitto's 555r but i couldn't always get the to hook consistantly like my hoosier slicks. Et streets will work great for your ride.

svtkidd23 · March 15th, 2009, 04:47 PM

i like my nt555r 315's!

mounder27 · March 15th, 2009, 04:58 PM

yeah i had 245's, i dont think the smaller size helped me to much.

trueblue02GT · March 15th, 2009, 06:06 PM

cody do they hook good? i might be getting deep dish 03 cobras with those out back. i wanted 17's otherwise id be getting saleens.

hey true, how sloppy does the handling feel in the car though? i may do this also but my car is a dd, i dont want it to feel all sloppy and messy while switching lanes or turning ect...

JiMi_DRiX · March 16th, 2009, 01:52 AM

Get the drag radials and keep practicing. You shouldnt be removing the sway bar until you get the basics down!! drag radials will get you gripping the track while still being able to tear it up when you launch

Put some slicks on it

Do a good burnout

Rev to the limiter

Dump the Clutch

Superfast

worst advice ever

put it in second tak it to 3k an dump clutch... if u got DR's let it spin from 3-4500... no more no less... and soon as they smoke let go of the brake an ride the burn out out

at tree..

prestage.
stage.
and go on 3rd yellow..
by the time ur eyes an body an car react... u got a DAM good reaction time!

its not that bad. with hard turns you feel the car dip a little more but its not too bad. some people say they dont even notice

AggieStang · March 21st, 2009, 06:00 PM

I think it looks and feels like i'm driving a freaking boat, but it helps at the track so i'm keeping it off.

trueblue02GT · March 22nd, 2009, 02:30 AM

I can't tell too much of a difference. then again my daily driving isn't hitting hard turns often.

03gtfirered · March 22nd, 2009, 04:51 PM

its a boat either way. especially if your not lowered.
