Track Launching an auto any tips

Skulz · 06-02-2009, 03:22 PM

Ok I'm plannng a trip to Cayuga this summer and its been a while since I took my Optra out. Any tips on how to launch an auto at the track other than a brake stand. I should have the compleat BMS cold air setup in and ready to go. Any tips or should I just mash the gas every time the light goes green.

Pretty much. If it has the same ECU as we do in the US (My guess you do), you may want to drive it around fast so that the ECU goes into sport mode. That way it will shift latter and you can go a bit faster.

I'm not sure I know the car ran slow 18.750 on a hot summer day lol. I'm hoping for the 17's or atleast I'm told the car should run in the 17's stock. All I'll have is the BMS CAI and Pulstar plugs.

Knowing my luck I'll run low 18's lol.
