Hi shaun.

I am used to the launch in first gear. It worked on some launches and others the car bogged down.

I tried it on 2nd gear and I was just burning clutch. Did everything the same as when I launch in first gear.

On 2nd gear the car was just rerving but going nowhere slowly and at abt 6 seconds later it takes off. Like the clutch was not realing when I left it.

I tried it twice and both times it was just riding clutch.

After that I just parked it off cause I could smell the clutch bad.

If you are MANUAL , you need to take off in 1st gear with handbrake control

Ok this was really bugging me so I went on a Google witch hunt to seek the truth.

Basically this formula is not correct, even though the results are approximate.

Formula and theory was quoted from Tuner University
