o well thats y, my clutch holds with normal driving. only when i launch it at the track it slips off the line because of the tremendous grip. launching on the street is no problem. i usually launch around 4500 - 5000 depending on the conditions. i get my 60 foot 1.8 sec every time

I'm terrible at launching. My 60 foot times are all over the place, and it'll be intersting to see how difficult the launches are gonna be now that i'm over 400whp/wtq.

the only way to get it down is to practice, what ive learned is dont be scared, just let it go. 400 hp should be real fun

I'm always down if the weather is not to hot, we really need to get a day when we can get a half dozen or so Subaru's out there. Would be much fun, I can't drive worth a crap.

I am leaving from work right in the Presidio so it shouldn't be too bad.

Should be fun I hope.
