No car is the same you have to get a feel for it your self. Search first before you break something. Launching AWD [Archive] - evolutionm.net

Rev to 5k.

Slip clutch out.

you will have to try it to figure out where/when you can start flooring and when the clutch has to be fully engauged.

Just please don't practice launching on public streets. Or at the very least find the most secluded spot possible

well I slipped the clutch at 4 grand and omg it was fun, I did't really have any engine bog all you could hear was the turbo spooling. No wheel spin or anything ! Fun Fun Fun

Oh and no clutch burning smell! :)
