But then again, my engine is a finely tuned 2.5l 6cyl BMW engine with VANOS (still, it's stock)!

I couldn't agree more... why waste a clutch on a Civic, Lancer, etc. just take off normally then stick the right foot to the floor.... go for some rooling traction and let them think they 'beat' you!

The hardest I've ever taken off was a 4,000 rpm 'launch' against one of my mates R33's. This was in the city after the Auto-Salon... and he'll never race me again (until he gets more mods) :)

well i went out to willowbank the other night and raced what looked to be a stock magna in my rb20det powered silvia. I have a turbo on the brink of extinction so i was silly for doing it but it didn't leave my tail end for the whole time and may of even gained but im not sure as i had to brake heavily nearing the end of the strip :P Needless to say, i was shocked, dissapointed in my car and left wondering how a magna could do so well against me. I guess they must have a bit of balls. My rb20det is completely stock ie no exhaust, stock boost, stock turbs.
