bleed the clutch off its not good for it but its the best way to launch an awd car
didn't you just get that car i wouldn't be launching it a lot even if its not new it burns the clutch and you will smell it

Go ahead, I dare you to dump the clutch...these guys are pussays.

Like Ryan said, rev it as high as you dare and pull out some clutch. When you feel it grab, let out quickly but smoothly while feeding it throttle and you should be away in a hurry. this is how I've had it described to me. I haven't ever really launched the car...honest.

if you don't know and can't figure it out....get another car.

you gotta be one with the car, you have to center in on the power and feel the engagement before the engagement so you know just what to do. all this happens in a spliiiit second, so you can't follow set directions, you just have to 'be one with the car'.

young grasshoppa has much to learn yes
he is right you have to feel the car out but a general idea never hurts for start off might save some heavy wear from experimentation

Sam doesn't have to have empathy. He wants timeslips...and I'm pretty sure he wants to break shit in a spectacular fashion.
