I am just curious how to hard launch this car. I know too much wheel spin is no good while no wheel spin will be slow too. Keep the slip ratio between 10-15% will get the max grip. Depends on the tire condition, I usually rev my Z to 3k rpm and dump the clutch. How people usually do at the dragstrip? Also, is dumping the clutch a proper way to hard launch a car? Will it damage the clutch and/or transmission?
