Re: How to launch a m6

on radials your gonna have to learn the fine art of sliding the clutch. it just takes practice. and there is no ideal rpm, every track surface is going to be different and have a sweet spot.

Re: How to launch a m6

I asked the same Q a while ago. It's not a clutch DUMP persay, but a controled slip/rapid engaugement.... -if that makes sence...

I've been playing w/ my M6 from stop lights and stop signs. Just to get the hang of it. I'll hold it at about 2300RPM, slightly slipping the clutch to hold her in place. When it goes green I let the clutch up a little quick and add some throttle to keep it form bogging. -Not slipping the h3ll out of it, but she grabs. (I've got a new McLeod clutch at home, mind as well finish this one off...)

Play w/ it. You'll get it... It's hard to explain, but once you get it you'll understand what we mean. and yeah, w/ radials, you can bring the R's up more. I kinda baby mine anyway...
