Today i was messing around in a parking lot and trying to figure out how the hell to launch. for the last couple of months ive always just Feathered out the clutch. From a dead stop i would never raise my RPMs or anything. I would just push the gas it about half way and then feather the clutch and keep adding power till i needed to shift. thats always worked for me. Then i also tried launching from 2000 RPM. I noticed i got a quicker Launch but a few seconds later my tires were still spinning a tad and then i put it into 2nd gear and they were still spinning but i could tell i was still moving forward quite quickly. I think by me raising my RPM to 2000 i had an overall quicker launch but i really cant tell. I had to go get gas so i had to stop.
So my question is what is the purpose of raising the rpm to 2000 or so? Wouldn't this cause you to go slower because it would create more wheel spin?
