haha nice, but launching at 2400 rpms is better? than 4k? Just wondering is it because at 4k you will spin the tires out before you go? sorry im new i need to learn how to launch good, i raced my friends camaro today z28 stock...yeah pretty uch smoked me but i burne dout so much cause i was launching at 4.5k rpms..lol anyway get back to me
Raced my cousins stock TEG type-R again...
Yep i was at my cousins house and was on my way home when my other cousin was leaving also...He drives a stock 2000 Teg R...I have raced him before when I had 500 miles on my 06 (stock) tC like 2 months ago and I used to launch at 4k rpm's and he would always beat me off the line by like 10 cars...Today I am a much better driver with my car launching at about 2400rpm's...we Ran twice today in a BIG enclosed school parking lot at about 11pm (I know we're dumb for racing here) but the first run I counted down 3-2-1 go-boom I took off 1st and 2nd gear and had him by a car...I asked whats wrong?..he said his Vtec wasn't kicking right the first time I was like ok lets go again (he sucha liar because I heard his Vtec)...raced again, 3-2-1 boom-I lagged and my revvs dropped and jumped again then I was side by side with the Type R til mid 2nd gear and he took offby almost a car...I was pretty happy with my results knowing he hit 14.9-1/4 mile and I can actually beat him off the jump with a good lanuch...Later I was torn apart by a 91 tsi AWD going home...I felt slow and exited...

HAHA 4500? ya thats a little high unless you get some decent 245s, (not stock tires), With the stock tires its been said the best launch is about 2400-3000 rpms.......
Nice runs.....heh, he actually said his VTEC wasn't working? Only time that would be true is if the engine oil was still relatively cold, I guess...he shouldn't be pushing the car like that if it hasn't warmed up yet.
What mph did you guys finish your race at?

I dont remember that well because its been a while since Ive raced him that night...I think we finished at like 60-65ish....and Oh yeah Ive raced him again from the HW, I did a ricer flyby and my cousins Teg R still killed me by 10 cars at high speeds...Originally posted by SilverRSXJezus@Oct 8 2005, 08:16 PM
