depends on the car and it's setup... most guys prefer a launch at about 2-3k while easing onto the clutch... dont' ride it but don't dump it either... then feather the gas until you get some traction and then go to town goodluck! launch control sucks *****... don't use it if you have it. you'll get a feel for your car the more you practice

I do 2k, Let the clutch out about 1.5x faster what I do when daily driving, and slowly roll on the gas until its pinned. I get decent traction that way.

It's very different for a N/A 2.2. On the street I launch from about 3800 rpm and not quite dumping the clutch but let out pretty fast. At the track I go from about 4500. It all depends on your tire setup as well. Practice makes perfect

have fun being single the rest of your life with that attitude. last time i checked someone you love and want to spend the rest of your life with is just as important as family because they help you create one of your own but i digress.

fixed lol

no seriously OP practice launching and see what works best for you, buy a wot box with 2 step and set it to what you found to be the best launching RPM for you and you can get a great launch everytime this way. just be prepaired to upgrade your axles if they have not been done already

she must have a heart made of ice to be with an insensitive dink like you
maybe you should tell her that losing her wouldn't be a big deal to you ... i'm sure she'd feel great about herself.
