EscortDavey Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Lo guys, this may seem bit of an odd question but as im a new driver ive got to learn these things Say for instance wat would be the "procedure" for the quickest start or "pull off" dunno if thats the right word for say a 0 - 60??

I think we're talking about the traffic light grand prix here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxmonkey Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 dont get a woman to drive - that's a major thing, otherwise she'll have the handbrake on, stall and go 'ooh!' also, attempt to drive some sort of sports car, such as a Ferrari, Subaru, or a Fiat Panda super.

John Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 well all depends really how well i know the set of lights i'm at. if you know the timing of them well enough then personally it's handbrake on with finger on release, clutch up well on the bite, couple of thousand revs then as the lights go amber drop the hand brake hit the throttle through the floor and at the same time let go off the clutch fast! seems to work well enough but be warned it's a sure fire way to kill a clutch within a few thousand miles!

Rich Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 yeah i found by using the accelerator more you tend to move away faster. You could always set your idle to 3K revs then you will have a head start on the gas already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVE W Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Watch for the other set of traffic lights to change Then Boot it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
900ss Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Raise the revs to 3000rpm plus whilst releasing the clutch slowly at the same time, increase the revs all the time the more you feed out the clutch. Or just drop the clutch at 6k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
