depends on "track" condition, tires, weather, elevation, blood pressure, etc....

how do you work your clutch also, do you slide or donkey kick.

Not to blow you up. But street racing isn't a popular topic on the forums. Just a FYI.

We are talking about the track.

And yes we "peel out" Its just the matter of how much we peel out.

when motor trend tested the scion tC, they said they got their acceleration results by revving to 2500 rpms, dropping the clutch and slowly feeding the throttle.

goes from 2000-2300k at the track, street racing is dumb and just let the idiot next to you that is reving take off and go smash his car into a tree or wall but don't do the same and end up with your car smashed as well.

^ exactly why our insurance rates are so high even though I've never had a ticket or an accident... ugh. All the stupid tC drivers crashing into fruit carts and catching air in San Francisco!
