one bad bg Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 That made no sense. lol. AWD would need a higher rev to spin then a RWD car with what? 500-600WHP? the point was spinning your tires is dumb and dangerous. launching is a formula: fast acceleration + TRACTION!!! = good launch... fast acceleration + spinning tires = dumb and expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibob6 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 If you really want to launch like a Drag Car find a leg with an auto put both pedals to the floor until about 2000-2500 and pick up ur left foot. That is assuming you don't give a F*ck about your car and wana feel cool, which is not what subaru is about. If you want to break shit for no reason GO BUY A FORD!!!

98quiksilvergt Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I still think any ford is better than a front drive gm car. I beat the piss out of my mustang and I have t broke anything in the past 4 years. Ive owned it for 6. 11.18 was my best time with 150 shot of spray. I really think it's bullet proof! If any of you are going to launch your awd like that, video tape it for us. Laughter is the best medecine!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibob6 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 ya seriously i wanna see some of your launches I sure hope your not refering to me! I would never launch my car like that! I was simply explaining a basic method used in drag racing with a trans-brake. Which could be accomplished, to an extent, if you wanted to launch an A/T vehicle. By no means a good idea; plus with a beat down motor like mine and leaking trans. I aint going no where fast anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosAngelesLGT Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I always drop the clutch at 5k. Everywhere I go whenever I am stopped. Even backing out of parking spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one bad bg Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 rx7's dont have a redline pursay or a rev limiter so when i had mine i would drop the clutch between 10 and 12k....beat that. or better yet when i have my 06 zx6r i would drop it at around 16k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaeven Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 i have launch control setup in my car for 5.5k rpm (redline is 7.5k on the ez30) i don't sidestep the clutch, but i let it out fast enough that i chirp the front wheels... so far it's been good for a 1.9 60' time at the drags... i've seen sti's sidestep the clutch at 6k, spin all four wheels and rack up a 1.6 60' time... you can give these guys shit, but it is the fastest way to launch your car (and kill it lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one bad bg Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 if the tires are spinning then your car is not launching as fast as it could. you dont see top fuel drag cars spinning their tires upon launch. you wanna know why.....CAUSE ITS FASTER NOT TO SPIN TIRES! *sigh* and yes, awd + spinning tires = broken something.

one bad bg Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 understood... but theyre talking about intentionally spinning the tires cause they think it makes the launch quicker in an awd. chirping tires is one thing, but dumping the clutch at near redline to make a 4 wheels "spin" is not proper launching.

Blaeven Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 yeh, i'm not talking about like "BRAAAAAP BRAAAAAAAP" wheel spin... i'm talking about like possibly one full rotation of the wheel (or less) before it hooks up and gets the hell out of the traps... they wouldn't be getting 1.6 60' times if they were launching wrong... edit: besides which, if you don't slightly spin some or all of the wheels in an AWD, it bogs down... i know mine does unless it chirps the fronts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one bad bg Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 slight spin = chirp. in awd drive your gonna have that. i was talking more about intentionally spinning the tires like in a burnout fashion to launch is bad. post a full size pic of your avy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibob6 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 one benifit of AWD is that even with the tires spinning you still have more traction than almost any RWD or FWD vehicle, its undeniable! So, spinning the tires may be bad but you will still launch like a bat outa hell if you manage to get that much power to the ground... Just my 2 cents.
