another tip for launcing is the use of the handbrake! Mind you your clutch won't like this method heaps! :(
sit at the lights with the car in firts gear and the handbrake on........
Bring the revs up to about 3000rpm........
slip the clutch out a bit, not to the point were you move the car or stall it.....
This will cause the engine to start to load up and hence make boost.....
Try and balance the clutch and hold it here "staging"........
when light goes green - dump the clutch, floor the accelerator, and drop the handbrake all at once.
result......
this is basically a poor man trans brake. :D
This method would work better in a rwd car as the handbrake is on the drive wheels, but still works for a fwd. If your using this method in say a TX3 or GTiR, hold it at 6000rpm not 3000!!! :n:
