Omg, I Did It!!!

I launched my baby for the first time today and all I can say is.. HOLY #$%^!!
After burning my clutch a couple times, I finally got the hang of it.
I tried it for the third time in the empty parking lot and it felt like I was in a roller coaster. Surge of acceleration pressed against my chest and it was an amazing feeling.

I told my friends about it, and they want me to do it while they're in the car.
But I'm not sure if I want to do it again. This is my daily driver and I'm pretty much babying it other than occasional high way run.

Our cars are amazing!!

When you are making a left turn from a stop light (just so you have some room), cut the wheel half a turn to the left and launch or do a slow roll and floor it and get ready for some sliding when boost hits.

If he knows what he is doing, with the power level he has, his clutch will hold up for a long time.

I think you speak to soon and too easily. Taking your EVO sideways down gravel roads can make you extremely regretful.... Even if you don't run off the road and crash

Now that its cold out and there is sand on all the roads.....I find myself drifting nearly every corner. Just stay in the throttle and enjoy the rewarding ride.
