You can't get a reasonably good 0-60 without launching at about 6500-7000 RPM. That's where I used to launch when measuring 0-60 with a Gtech. As an example, R&T got their 5.9 second 0-60 dropping the clutch at 7500 RPM. I've heard of folks launching at near redline. I never felt the need to do that.

Yep. Isn't much "edginess" there. I consider the show a good introduction to the car... covers the basics, and if you haven't already seen the car in person, you get the benefit of seeing the exterior, interior, controls and dash, trunk, and engine. I think viewing it on HDTV is better than looking at the stylized pics or animations on a website.

 

bulletproof reputation, fo sure.

 

LOL, when I feel 'adventuresome', I launch between 4500-5000.. I never revv my car that high....especially at a launch...(tends to draw attention to yourself and cops might look your way!) I do redline in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears..that's nice.

 

Just watched the video - great viewing.
Now I'm pumped up, time to get my red car back on the track

 

Max I would do is drop the clutch at 6k rpm... Never more.

 

4-5 grand is pretty normal I would think when launching. when I drag raced my car I would launch at least at 4 grand. I started playing around and testing out different rpm's to launch at. Usually around 5k for me tho.....would like to get back out to a track some day and get things more dialed in.....fun times.
