Okay. So I'm still new to secret street and friday was only my second time around. I was just wondering if I could get some advice on better launching methods. I notcied my best came when I wasn't paying attention and just reved and droped the clutch not know what RPM I was at.

I understand this verys from car to car but I got a FWD.
is launching high a good or a bad thing? what can improve my 0-60 times?, other than dumping the clutch is there a better way?
or is this just something I have to learn on my own?

i've tried a few different things. but not getting consistant results. Any advice would be great. I can never get sick of learning about this stuff:D

the best way ive found out how to do it is to hit up a parking lot or somthing where no one or anything is and just practice...the way i like to launch is the point of spining but not spinning...tricky to find that point sometimes...but i watch my RPM while i practised and found the point that i liked and went from there...practice makes perfect
