whats quickest and safest way to 60 in a wrx

 

Get a rolling start!

 

Safest? Hmmmmm, I don't think that there's a "safe" way to do a full bore start with AWD....

For the quickest time (from my experience), handbrake on, hold the revs at 4500-5000rpm. Release clutch pedal to biting point. Then dump the clutch, release the handbrake and depress accelerator fully, all in one fluid movement. All four wheels should light up and you get around 1-2 secs in first gear before shifting hard to second at around 5500rpm.

A kinder way is to launch gently from 4000rpm and slip the clutch slightly until engine revs match the wheel speed. Then floor it!!! Yay!!

 

lmao kinder way slip clutch very kind

 

Clutches are cheaper than gearboxes, diffs and driveshafts

 

Doing this in a car equipped with dccd will set the diff to free mode.....so most of the power will go to rear wheels ......

 

Rev limiter then side step the clutch, you need not have any kind of mechanical sympathy though.

 

A crash helmet, a drag strip & deep pockets

 

set up the launch control.
turn on the anti-lag.
leave up the clutch.
floor it.
change gear when the change light goes red.
and stay going till you hear something go bang!

 

I'm with you on that
don't think it's the fasterst, but it's good fun
Got a bit of cash for drive shafts and a new box?

 

on my car, sit in 1st with hand brake on, get the clutch to the bite point and dump hand brake and clutch.

not advisable unless you have a nice strong gearbox like my PPG straight cut box though

 

thats the easy way yep.

 

thats cheating that!!!

you bunch of computer control wusses,,, pmsl

now whered i put that launch control button in my car?????

 

Everyone is talking about shafts and boxes, must have done dozens of 5,000rpm and side step the clutch in my old Ford 4x4 - nothing ever broke, so maybe Fords are better built than everyone thinks!

pure luck then lol

 

the reason the fords didnt break is that they dont have the power/torque

 

As its the shock of dumping the clutch or the torque applied that breaks things , power of course is of no relevance......0-30 time at trax was 2.2s

Simon

 

shame 30 - 60 was ten minutes 12 seconds,,,,,, pmsl

 

what about 0-60??

 

Is your box noisy Tidger ?

 

Thats a bit personal asking a lady if she has a noisy box and all

quickest technique is just as you leave the petrol station and realised you havent paid

 

tidge is no lady that for sure


more like a common ho

 

 

rafpmsl, thanks steve, you batty boy, nope im no lady lol

yeah but i've got used to it, also got a uk 5th gear so can sit quiet on the motorway.

i'll let you guess which of them is mine lol

Is that in a WRX? (sounds like a great idea..)

 

Take a stopwatch, hit the start/stop button as soon as u start off, and have a look at the speedo when it reaches 60, press the start/stop again on the stopwatch..

u should have a reading ... and post it here lolll

 

and possibly some crash pics

 

uk turbo mate

 

Dream on, 6.6s, not bad for a 2.8V6 back in 1995....even if it was rather heavily tweaked.

8.8 0-60, dam thats slow
