I completely fluked a perfect launch earlier, just to get out in front of another vehicle in time from a junction, it took so much less rpm though than you would associate with a full blast takeoff it was unbelievable, but a great learning curve. I almost felt a bit embarrassed smoking the tyres and disappearing into the countryside albeit unintentionally!

 

Nice one DH An example of the old maxim 'the harder you try........

Have had similar myself.

dnc

 

is this when at very low revs, like under 3k and it just goes? i've done that a few times but yeah was fluke lol

 

Smoked the tyres in a perfect launch ?? er ... what ?

 

Lol, ok, a contradiction in terms there for sure but with yesterdays weather and plenty of grip the little belter was really going some. And i reckon 4k rpm or thereabouts from standing, i've always associated blistering launches with very high rpm

 

lol.. drop your clutch at 5k and you'll see Subarus way to clean your clutch plate
