perfect rpm's

[Lux]

I agree with Adam on the lauch rpms. Ideally, 4.5K lauch but that takes a toll on your clutch as well as possible damage resulting from wheel hop. 3K lauches seem to be perfect for the streets around here. Great hookup (do it right and your head *will* snap back) with no wheel hop...just a nice, snappy acceleration.

Most people can't lauch their cars right so if you perfect this, you'll be able to dust off quite a bit of "higher horsepower" cars. Especially an S2K. Their 0-60 is 5.5 seconds...but that's with a 6-7K clutch dump. Their 5-60mph, as tested by Car and Driver, is something like 7.5 seconds due to their torqueless motor. For comparision, a Boxster S does 0-60 in 5.2 seconds and 5-60 in 5.8 seconds per Car and Driver. Driven properly, an S2K would be close to a Boxster S. But I've put buslengths on them from a dig because their drivers couldn't launch them right.
