I usually launch in neutral. Very little wheel spin.

I prefer not to even have my car turned on

Put it in 1st and rev to about 1500. Then, slowly let out the clutch until you are in motion. Finally, let the clutch out fully and you will have lauched an Evolution. :)

When I had my cobra I did burn outs from 2nd gear.....but never launched my evo from 2nd.......

according to jeremy on top gear, you're supposed to do it in top gear (5th on regular USDM evo's, 6th on all the others). :lol: :lol: :lol:

Get out and push it when you have it going atleast 5MPH (make sure it is in neutral first, if not it may be a little harder to push)... Then jump in start it up throw it in 1st or 5th either one is fine make sure not to use the clutch because that is a waste of time. If done just right you should here a nice grinding sound that means you had the perfect launch.

dude... whyd you say that, my car wont go into gear now... i have 5 reverse gears, and one forward
