How Do You Launch Your Skyline?

[Triskillion]

as title says, how do you launch your skyline?

EDIT: THIS "RACE" WAS HELD OFF PUBLIC ROADS (noted for those people with turbo cars that run 13 seconds or quicker that have never raced or speed in there life)

I just raced a "305kw claimed" xr8, i had him all the way up to 140kpm then at 180kpm he was one car length ahead.

on the first run i didnt launch as good, had him till 100kpm, then same at 180kpm he was one car length ahead.

My car, stock standard r33 s2, with hks cat back, hks pod, 10psi, standard rims with 235's.

my question is, could i have done better with a better launch? and what might of happened if i had 255's on 17 * 8.5 " rims (there sittin in my room waiting for me to get some decent tyres on them)

And how did i launch? only revd about 2k then droped the clutch and almost full throttle till the wheel spin slowed down. then full throttle till read line every gear except 5th

first of all, if the xr8 had that much power it would of smoked u off the line an maybe most of the way.

an the launching side this is wat i do leave it in 2nd an rev to bout 6000- 6500 an let go of the clutch, straight after u drop the clutch plant it. the revs drop a little but it seems to work beta fo me then launchng out of 1st.

yeah 300 kw does seem to high for what the race was. but thats what the guy kept saying. said he spent so much on mods at some place "heretez" or something he keep talking. but even if it was stock (which it wasnt, seem some of the mods myself, under the hood) there about 260kw i think

launching in second gear, ive heard of doing this but most cars out there launch in first, so im guessing gettin a better launch in first is better then getting a good launch in 2nd???

I dont race, and only personally amuse my self at work. 3.5k with brake and accel, left foot up and push hard on right and as long as you have good tyres and clutch, you should float along. trick is not too spin the tyres for more than 1 second. Its like a handbrake hill start. you jsut have to get the feel.
