Well a mate at my new work place challenged me to a bit of a duel in a 310 bhp scooby, so the keys were thrown down and the challenge accepted

 

the result, he was about half a car length in front from a standing start but i started to pull a way aboved 50 then onto 70 and the road ran out, bloody industrial esates eh. with more road i feel i would have pulled ahead quite abit

 

any tips on launching an auto from standing start, he basically drop the clutch at 3000 rpm and got wheel spin in first and 2nd, i had no wheel spin, i had the over drive off and power button on but it seemed pretty even till about 50

Possibly it was the wheel spin that won it for you!

 

When the wheels are spinning there is less friction between the tyre and the road and so less force is applied to the car. I know that it looks good but from a sprinting point of view wheel spin is bad.

try reving up to about 1600rpm with foot on brakes

 

then let loose on the mother, watch out for wheel

 

spin... should wipe his face in shi.....tt....

 

 

ha ha luck...
