awwww sh*&!!!!
i cant wait to get out there and try some **** cept the car will be in storage for another solid 3 months or so
poor -redneck.....i am not asking how to drive stick, i can drive the car perfectly fine, i'm just looking to improve my driving and was wondering the capabilties of the car/engine/clutch before you start ****** **** up! but i guess the general consensus is that there is room for experimentation which will be done along with your guys pointers as soon as all this damn snow and salt is off the streets.
thanks
so, i will be trying a 4000rpm slip into 1st, shift to 2nd at 6500, 3rd 6500, 4th...6500................?
just worried about that initial launch, i think im gunna **** that up.

If it's a N/A you need to be red-lining it.
The turbo IIs dont make much power past 6800 or so.
Since your car is N/A, you need to just go ahead and red-line it. That's one of the advantages of the rotary... they love to be red-lined

anywhere from 4800-5200 is fine... i get my best launches at 5200 and it pulls pretty hard.

That's true.......I hadn't thought of that...........dood just try it all, start at 4K, if you bog out try it a little bit higher until you get the right launch.......I launched my T2 under 4K and I got pretty good lauch......minimal wheelspin....keep trying.

also take into consideration that the stock tires are probably discontinued

they weren't meant for speed. let's be realistic.
