9

It’s the long, skinny pedal on the right - you might want to use it a little more :slight_smile:

10

or mayb i need to try launching on a car that actually has some power lol.

11

i have all these vids saved if anyone wants them

12

im glad i watched those videos and DIDNT go “oh, so thats how you’re supposed to do that” lol

13

where’s the one about shifting from 5th to 2nd?! :stuck_out_tongue:

14

everyone knows you shift 5th to 1st when cornering lol.

15

nah, you probably just dumped the clutch and held the throttle at the same level. you have to let the clutch out while giving it more gas simultaneously. its tricky business, especially on an awd car.

16

since when is 1400 a hard launch?? lol I think I usually had to be at 4K+ to even consider it a launch at all in the mr2, and I havent launched the scoob yet but i image that will bog even harder

17

18

Didnt he “hard launch” at 4000?

19

Hard launch = launching off the limiter FTW
