Drivers race from a stop. Both run low 14s (14.2 or so). Just make sure you nail your launch and shift points

A good launch out of the hole is going to be key. The AWD should be enough to get you ahead early, and keep you there. (barely)

Getting you car moving from a dead stop the fastest way possible. I think the term comes from a space shuttle. Scoobys usually have weaker trannys and are REALLY easy to mess up if you "launch" to hard. The downfall to that level of grip.

so, what IS a safe rpm to dump the clutch? in my old NA mr2, i found 4k reasonable enough without having the car smell like barbeque for a day.

also, in regular city driving, do u find that u need to feather the clutch a bit at around 1.5k-2k in first gear to get it to go anywhere?

id like to know the official stats of the s2000 quarter mile and the WRX quarter mile time please.

i think i can take him if i replace the stock exhaust.

so stock vs stock you guys think the s2000 would win the quarter mile?

Stock vs Stock it's a drivers race (it can easily go either way). A modded WRX vs stock S2K shouldn't be a problem at all...but that works both ways

Car and Driver has the WRX 1/4 14.1 and the S2K runs 14.1@99

Road & Track has the WRX 1/4 14.4@ 95.4 and the S2K 14.1@99.6

Motor Trend: WRx 14.2@ 94.4 and the S2K 13.8@100.5

I have Automoble mag but i think you get the point.
