its going to eat rubber...if u want traction..get slicks..and stop beating on dannys old car

just feather(slowly release) the cluth as your giving the car gas, instead of just releasing the clutch and gassing it.
basically u gotta ride the clutch until u get traction.

Depends....on your tires, on your tire pressure, and the road conditions and temp....
at the strip, I launch at 4200RPMs, clutch dump, 18PSI in the fronts, very little wheelspin..... 2.2 60 foots...on street tires with an open diff (no quaife).
No way I could do anywhere near that on the street with normal pressure though....

He's right about easing the clutch out. with the 16v pressure plate, I can ease it into a perfect burnout or a perfect takeoff with ease.

i dunno bout u guys but i've gotten 2.0's 60 foots when i was running on 5 cylinders on my vr (2 bent valves and 2 messed up lifters) about 3 times in a row... and on 5 cylinders i ran a 14.9 3 times...

i take it then that low tire psi is better for traction on the track
