You see! That's why they invented emoticons - sarcasm just doesn't translate well!

dude I've done the launch like that on the street and it's pretty good...wheels kinda squeal a little but then you're off to the races...

But on the track I found it was BRUTAL...way too much wheel spin! Have you been to the track and launched like that? Maybe I just need to practice...my 60ft times suck...

that launch is brutal at the track. just be glad you got wheelspin and not wheelhop!

anyways, its in the prelude faq if you want to read. It really depends on your track for how to launch.

Don't forget the flywheel sounds like a good reason to go race.

Yeah I had no wheelhop mostly cause Ihad soft winter tires and had them dropped to like 20-24psi..and I think the Spoon Bar helped. Best 60ft I got was in the 4000rpm range...and just managed to hook early.

does it work well on the s2000 ? i tried launching at about 5,000 and i get terrible wheel hop. it feels a lot different with rear wheel drive.
