Newbie launch question..NEED HELP!

[MituMIR]

Ok, as some of you know...I drive a 4g93 mirage..and I'm so used to FWD launching...Well occasionally I'll take out my dad's GSX for some fun. Well I always get offers to race, and I always turn them down due to my ignorance to AWD launching. I've heard so many different techniques, but heres my worry!

The car is a 95 GSX, 180,000 miles (mostly highway) and it's on the second clutch...Now I've tried doing the feather thing before and I TOTALLY messed that up...but I'm worried about just dropping the clutch cause I don't want to majorly DESTROY his car, or destroy it at all! I have dropped the clutch in it before and it seemed to work real good, but after that incident I've had with the other "feathering" type launch, I've been afriad of launching the car ever since....

I heard drop the clutch at 5000

I hear feather it at like 3000....

So many choices, but I threw in specific information about the milage and that I think the clutch may be slipping JUUUUUSSSST a bit, and it's hardly noticable. It may not even be slipping at all...but what do you guys suggest me to do?

Sorry if you guys answer this question a lot....

any help is appriciated!

try dropping at 3k and feathering at 5k. i can feather at 3k in my fwd most of the time. AWD traction is not an issue and some people launch at 6500 or so rpms.

5k slip.. once u start feeling it grab.. then quickly get off the clutch and mash the gas..

That's really the best course.

It's so sad when a father has to murder a son, and the prosecutor can't find a jury who'll hang him.
