moviemadness Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 what's a good RPM to launch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urfsin Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 It's tricky with a 5MT. I have revved up to 5000 RPM's and did a quick realease and all I got was clutch stink. I seem to do best revving up to around 4000 or so RPM's and doing a quick realease. Note: I am NOT dumping the clutch. You should go out and practice a bit. The trick is getting the Turbo spooled and using the power. If you rev too low, you will fall flat on your face. Slide It Sideways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutru01 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Stock specs are: 256 hp and 229 lb ft Ok, so its a Stage 1 MT LGT vs a 2002 AT "poor excuse for a Porsche" Boxster? You will crush him. I would still go Stg II and embarrass his sorryass. Why would one ever buy a Boxster to begin with? They are for ego maniacs who can't afford REAL porsches. Tell this fool to come down to DC and race me for pinks. I would love to have a Porsche for sale to pay off my car and get some more mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddavis Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 he thinks he's racing a boxster until he shows up in a zo6 with a boxster fiberglass body ftw. Also make sure he's not packing one of those tornado hp/fuel savers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vimy101 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 actually, 5.8 for the tiptronic s, and this is the latest model on the website. don't our cars do 5.1 stock?? That time was by an 06 Spec.B. Fastest for a LGT was something like 5.2something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandonhope16 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 If you here talking about going stage II for this, how do you know this guy isnt doing the exact same thing? If you're going to agree to race, disclose the mods on your car before hand. This guy could have money and go get some crazy power mods just to embarress you.

rao Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 There is no stage 2 for a Boxster. It is not a fast car to begin with and there are no effective mods to make it one. Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandonhope16 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 NOS, you know what that did in FATF . I'm sure there are mods out there that could make that a faster car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deimos Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 If its a stock 02 auto, you should win, the newest S' are pretty quick. Im no expert but the best launches ive had have been in the 3-4k range with a light slip. It seems more aggresive launches just end up with clutch stink.

Beanboy Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Bah Boxster is a great car. Hamstrung by Porsche so it doesn't step on the toes of the rear-engined Hiltermobile 911. Getting an auto in one, especially a S, is so very lame though. SLK/Z4 in that case. -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradlgt21 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Good luck. I would definately suggest practicing your launch. Its not automatic with 5mt. There is a feel for it. Hopefully its cold out I find it way easier to launch in the cold because the tires spin a little making that fall flat on your face risk greatly reduced. The one and only benefit of the RE92's. Just get the hang of it and with a good launch you can smoke cars that should be even faster then you just because of the launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
