i remember w/ my 4th gen. that i think it was fastern w/ trac. control off...is this right? in a race is it better to dump the clutch at around 1500 rpm w/ L.C. switched off?
How's this: It is best to launch at the highest rpm where you can keep from just smoking the tires. So every car is different. Some cars will practically stay in one place if you dump the clutch at 1500 rpm, and some will bog badly. Depends on horsepower, tires, car, track, and many more variables. There is a fine line to how to get the best launch. Nobody knows yet with this car but it seems like the launch control would make it easier to get a good launch but it will certainly have to limit power from the engine to do it. So with a lot of practice, I am sure the absolute best times will come with the launch control off, but I think it will be pretty consistent with it on.
