7AT Times and Launch Tips

If you can't put traction down on a high rpm launch, pulling the brake fuse isn't going to do you any good.

i dont see a reason. i have never pulled mine and i still can sit there and smoke my tires in the burnout pits at the redline all day.

although i rarely do it based on burnouts on street tires is basically pointless.

quick spin here and there to clean debris is about all you need.

mine a 2013 touring sport, so what ever tires come with the sport package, potenza i think or something like that. the tires have 12k miles on them and the threat is still soooo good .

20 roll out i slap it into 1st gear and I'm at aboutt 4k rpms and i gas it from there

off the line, i full gass it but my tires are spinning, i think i have to gas it half way let go and when i catch tracting then stomp on it.

im racing a 04 350z supercharge, i beat him already off the line but last night i was spinning like crazy, and i beat him second race.

20 roll out i know i got the Z.
