Take ur foot off the brake and hit accelerate lol

kiss, i'll teach you

lol.

TCS off! lol.
1. neutral bashing lol
2. stall it up by holding front brake and accelarting at the same time.
3. hold hand brake up and accelerate.
4. just floor it.

i'd prefer neutral bashing
lol.
nah, see what does it best for you.
but it will bound to break something doing it so many times.

You will "brake" something. HAha

Put it into 1st or D, press the brake pedal, give it 1/2 accelerator. Watch the RPM stall at 2000~ish rpm, and then simulaneously release the brake and floor the accelerator at the same time.

That's much better than revving it and then dropping from neutral to D.

yerr dropping from neutral to D doesnt do much i dont think remember trying in dads car all it does gives the car a massive jerk and starts of like if u would have starting off in D...i say hold brake and hand brake up and simultaneously drop them whilst 1/2 accelerating like aaronng said

jumping from Nuetral to gear is stupid. and it won't give do much because the torque converter would rob most of the power from the drivetrain. best launch is probably letting off the brake (no gas) letting it roll, then flooring it. or you can have the brakes on, not the whole way, about half way down and rev. when the car starts to inch forwards then let off the brake and floor it

Im sure something will give up after a while of doing it lol

HAHAHA... droppin it from N to D is just gonna break ya gearbox. would advise against it

**bennjamin** · 22-03-2006 10:10 PM

just keep it in D with the handbrake up and revs up....the car will "grip" and try to move forward...
and go (down WSID ofcourse) just dump the handbrake lol

if you were serious about racing, then u shoulda got a manual car!

9/10 chance this will be practised on public rds imo.
