In this case you'd step on the clutch. Raise RPM to 10.5k. Slide foot to the left until your it's no longer on the clutch and it comes out... Quite fast! Retinas detach, front wheels loose contact with the black stuff and 9.96 seconds later you've travelled 400 meters and are doing a ridiculous speed for a 20 year old car!

Man that is a great shot of the 7. Who ever took the pic was right on the ball with the timing of that one.

Crazy stuff

NHRA told him he can't run the 20b anymore. They made it illegal to run anything more than a 2 rotor in the all motor class. So he came back with an car that looks identical on the outside but with a 13b and now he's braking records left and right. I almost fainted when I saw both of his RX7's sitting at his shop.
