alamak,.... was typing a long one then accidently press backspace and all my wordings gone!! KNNCCB!!!
I used to drive a VTec b4 and they can really launch at high rpm. This high revving engine have low torque at low rpm and with the combination of short gearings, I can lauch my VTec at 5500rpm. Some skilled VTec draggers can launch at 7000rpm w/o slipping the wheels!
Good launching plays a very important role in drag. As everyone thinks that 4wd is superior at launching, without skill, it's still a lousy launch. I tried my B8T 4wd against a modded 1.8 Vtec. During that time, I've just purchased this car. Straight away drive to have a friendly drag. haha, I was naive enough to think that no need to practice launch cause it's 4wd ma; just tekan minyak and the car will go....
I got it wrong, that Vtec tapaued me 1+ car at the end of 1st gear. He's a skilled dragger, so no complain if he were to beat me at launch.
And who won the race? err... he won coz i missed my 3rd gear. :(
Now i've learned my lesson and practised my launch. Tried launching at 4000rpm but couldnt coz clutch was slipping. Changed to racing clucth and voila!!! I'm now launching my turbocharged B8 at 5500rpm (just like how i launched my VTec). hehehe.. thanks to 4wd lo.
Wanna game, anyone? hey, i'm just kidding la! :P
