ok if the rpm are to high i do nothing but spin the tires so whats a good rpm to launch at so i get go traction but can really put my foot to the floor? or just any sugestions would be nice and can you double cluch these cars?

 

on the street 1500
at the track, anywhere from 1500-3000 depending on conditions/temps


and i will pretend you didnt ask about double clutching.

 

All my best 60 foot times have come letting clutch out quickly (slightly slipping it) @ 2000-2500 but not quick enough to spin the tires...I have managed a 2.182 & a 2.188 with a completely stock car. ANY time I have spun even slightly= wheel hop& loss of time. No wheel spin= better '60 foot= better E.T.s. After 25+ times down the track I got much better& that is after 20 years of drag racing!!! I can not comment on "double-clutch" as I am not a semi-truck driver....he-he.

 

 

why is evry one not saying anything about the double clutch? is it hard to do or is it just bad?

 

 

he he.

The real question is do you know what double clutching is? I mean obviously you don't that was retorical, but seriously no don't double clutch.

Hollywood at it's finest folks!

About launching though, just launch at about 1500 and you should get a decent launch. If you start to wheel hop get off the gas immediately.

 

i agree with what's said about, i revved up to 2 (crappy track and 90 degrees) and then slipped the clutch

 

some people think double clutching is this: im gonna tell u a story of a ricer at my school.."it was so foggy this morning i got to use my underglow and i double clutched all the way here" and his friend said what was that and the ricer said "when i shifted i didnt take my foot off the gas and pushed the clutch in and shifted really fast" I DIED LAUGHING

 

lol i thought double clutching was where just just clutched to get of out gear then you clutched again to get into anouther gear i always here people at the track talking about it ive never seen it or tried it so i just thought i would ask on here

 

Unless you drive a semi you don't double clutch. PERIOD.

 

i think thats called power shifting (not the semi)

 

heck i know what power shifting is i can do that in a balt thats not hard

 

what he sez, works for me

 

that is double clutching,.. we dont need to do that.. we have syncros in our trannys.. just clutch once and shift

 

^^^^they also rev the engine to match the rpms needed for the next gear in N then clutch into the next gear, its for unsyncronized manual transmissions, which were in old semi trucks

might have been where 'power shifting' came from...


man did fast and the furious do a number on society

imagine a semi-truck driver watching it, and being all "wtf?!"
