    i launch at about 3500-3700 dumping the clutch. Managed a 2.0 60' last season at the track. Need to fuck around with my launch a little more now since its been a while

    she be a one wheel german wonder, but she be built with traction control.

    slip the clutch, you might get 1 good run, or get 1 drag radial.

    Just practice and figure out RPMs you need to launch at,
    I would say start around 3k and go from there.

    ... that cayman better not be a peg legger

    I'd say launch @ 2500 first, and ease into the clutch ( dont dump it and squeal your tire )

    i dd my car with a welded diff and know many other people who do also and it isnt as bad as people make it out to be. it is a little more rough but the understeer isnt very bad like people like to say. it does put more strain on the car tho. unless you plan on drifting, i would suggest investing in a lsd. as for the launch, i guess feather it little at the initial launch and use the low end torque of the KA to your advantage(althought this is coming from a drift/auto-x guy)
