Launch Tecniques

[Ford_XR6_Turbo]

Has anyone perfected a Launch Tecniques for the manual xr6 turbo.

I been trying but still haven't got it right.

What I mean is like this eg

Yeah had the revs at 2500rpms, with traction off

and dropped the clucth, little wheel spin but took off quick.

This would help me lots(and every one else) to shave some time when some one lines me up.

They usally get infront but half a car length before a distroy them.

Who drive autos? Anyone with a sense of mechanical sympathy and a view to future engine mods, that's who. Who really wants to waste time swapping cogs when the 'brains trust' in the box can do it for you, and at peak shift points. Manual launches are just far to dodgy and fraught with danger.. ie broken bits down the road.

Launch is easy, hold against the brake with 2,500 ~ 3.000 on the tach, easy off the brake and button it. My baby just hooks up and takes off. Call it a freak (or lucky owner) but most passengers make comments like, "bloody hell, she has some urge".

Coming from a mechanical background, I appreciate the fact that the auto will stand up to most 'reasonable' engine mods with ease.

Now where is that APS phone number?.. I need more power already..

cheers to the group
