1LE LAUNCH

Just got the M6 1LE. Have not taken it to the track yet. Anyone know or can share their experience as far as what RPM range to launch the car? None of that competitive launch.

without DRs I was spinning launching above 2000rmps, with DRs I was bogging off the line at even 4200 RPM.... are you all stock at this point?

The trick is to ride out that clutch. Any harsh engagement will cause those tires to spin.

So i recommend to do a quick spin of the tires as you pull up to the line. No big burnout just enough to get the junk off the tires.

Depending on temp i would say between 2100-2300rpm and ride the clutch out. dont pop the clutch or got WOT right away. A gradual release of the clutch and increase of throttle. you gotta play with it in that fashion.

practice is what will get you to where you want.
