Default Re: At 4000 rpm in second before she hooks up?

Paul and MikeR are both correct,

Slip the clutch a bit, spin the rears just a little bit, kinda bog it and go. Learn to roll on the throttle, not stab it, unless you want to spin big time.

PS2's are OK tires when warm but not very sticky for bigger power in the lower gears. Lousy when cold - traction wise.

Someone said the magic word in this post, "Kumho's". Very hard to beat on the street for traction. Very, very sticky with reasonable wear.

I can get 0 to 60 times around 3.0 seconds in my Paxton car with Kumho's and a good take off procedure in warm weather. Very little spining if I do it right. If I get too excited (and we all do at times), my tires will go up in smoke and my engine hits the rev limiter in about 1 second (it seems like it anyway).

Keep working on it.

Dan
