ive been kinda curious once in a while i wanna mess around n dump the clutch from a spot. yet for some reason i cant find a good rpm to launch at. i have a stage 1 clutch with no more then 15k on it n if i try dumpin it itll usually slip a bit and not get off so good. is it cause i just have a 2.5 with no power? haha im not expecting to break massive amounts of tires but a little of a jerk back wouldnt be so bad lol. or is it something wrong with my clutch? idk someone help
what huh

With a 2.5 and a heavier car you going to need to slip the clutch very fast with your foot in order to get that feeling that you are looking for.
Dumping the clutch in a legacy with a 2.5 will either bog the engine or make the clutch slip because its trying to move all the weight

Yeah, I was going to say.. don't try. Thirty-four hundred pounds doesn't take off very pretty on our NA versions.
Think of it like I do. If I ever find myself in some sort of race... yeah I'm going to lose off the line. Pray there are going to be turns and loose terrain. That's my only saving grace with this car. Straight head to head from a standing start.. forget it.
