I Have a 2006 Chevy cobalt ss/sc and I want to know at what rpms is good for launching. I raced my friends lexus the other day and his car was a automatic lexus and it was just for fun but he beat me on the launch and i messed up my shifting from 2nd to 3rd. I launched at about 3 1/2 to 4 rmp. Then again just for practice there were 4 people in the car launched at 3 1/2 and wheels kept spinning. Im asking what rmps is best to launch with out the wheels complelty going crazy im thinking at 2 1/2 or 3

 

if you have no mods as far as a TQ brace or something along thouse lines your going to have launch much lower to avoid much of the wheel hop. when i was stock i launched around 2k-2.5k

 

I launch around 1500- 2k and I kinda slip the clutch but when I get traction I just punch it I don't get that much wheel spin it seems to work.
