If the animal channel has taught me anything, its that jealousy is a female trait, come on now...

Also, not sure if you realize or not, but your speaking for "yourself" and not "everyone else" lol, you really are entertaining to respond to though, i'll give you that..
LOL - I don't care what they say about you, you crack me up. Plus you drive a GG like I do so you must be ok.

weird indeed,your wheel speed sensor reads the front tire speed so if it is spinning at all your speedo should be registering.

yeah its so weird it like launches late i rev dump the clutch and floor but all i get is 0 for a second... yesterday my friends 2001 jetta 2.0 got like 1/4 of a car ahead of me and slowly pasted him till vtec had an orgasm and I flew away.

so there is something about my launch cause it happens every launch..

How about posting up your sixty foot times along with your method of launching?
Yall should ask udumkid or mr. 122 ci how they launch, they seem to have it down.

Feathering the clutch is pretty much slipping it to control the amount of power going down. While it does wear the clutch if you are looking for the BEST possible times ever, somethings gotta be sacrificed.

People on this thread want the best time without abusing anything, which isnt gonna be the BEST time possible.
