I don't have to worry about traction in a V6? Ok... just about any manual car can burn rubber just rev it up and dump the clutch.
But anyway, I hold it at about 4,000 and let the clutch out slowly but it usually burns out for a little ways, not too much though. If I wanted to though it will burn them well into second gear. This was not at a track, but his car is an auto and he hasnt messed with it since the last race, so I figure it should be running the same. My new tires will help plus the weight on take off, but after that nobody was really gaining or losing ground, just like before, so the acceleration didnt seem to be hurt much by the weight (which is why the question is about)
I'm going to take out the weight, I don't have an air silencer, never had a spare or tools (bought it used) or is the spare tire not in the trunk? I guess I don't know where else it would be. What air pressure should I run at? I don't want to run too low and wreck my tires. I think they might be at 30 now or something, whatever they are recommended at, but I may be wrong cuz I'm not going to go check them right now.
EDIT: Plus last race we ran them 3 times and same results every time... a whole car length ahead.
