How do I launch my boxster s?

[blackbox986]

What rpm range is a good for launching the boxster s 3.2 manual tranny? I am trying to find the sweet spot. but I am afraid of launching it from anything higher than 3,000 rpms lol. Let me know what you guys have found to be a good balance so it doesnt just spin the wheels but hooks up pretty well. I have 265 size tires on back. It doesnt have launch control or the active suspension, its a 2001 boxster s with the 3.2L. 6spd. thanks again.

Here's a link to a 911 with PDK and manual. I use the same technique but limit my RPM to around 3K. Too low and you'll have to take it easy on the clutch. 3.5K will be more forgiving if don't let off your clutch easy. Do this right and both you and your car will smile

Thanks for the link, I don't see me dumping the clutch at 5500 rpms happening too often. I have too much mechanical sympathy for that. Hell I think that first is too short for meaningful accelleration, do they have a 30-90mph time comparison?

It's like trying to get a Bull to give milk... they're just not made to do it.

Buy a 'Stang and you'll be much happier!

Cheers!

Here you might want to contact these guys sooner or later for a new tranny.

Funny they mention you can replace your "worn gearbox".

Have to agree with the other posts, if you want a stoplight rocket to rag on get one cheaper to repair.
