whats quickest and safest way to 60 in a wrx

Get a rolling start!

Safest? Hmmmmm, I don't think that there's a "safe" way to do a full bore start with AWD....

For the quickest time (from my experience), handbrake on, hold the revs at 4500-5000rpm. Release clutch pedal to biting point. Then dump the clutch, release the handbrake and depress accelerator fully, all in one fluid movement. All four wheels should light up and you get around 1-2 secs in first gear before shifting hard to second at around 5500rpm.

A kinder way is to launch gently from 4000rpm and slip the clutch slightly until engine revs match the wheel speed. Then floor it!!! Yay!!

:nono: Clutches are cheaper than gearboxes, diffs and driveshafts

Doing this in a car equipped with dccd will set the diff to free mode.....so most of the power will go to rear wheels ......:lol1:

Rev limiter then side step the clutch, you need not have any kind of mechanical sympathy though.

A crash helmet, a drag strip & deep pockets:thumb:

set up the launch control.
turn on the anti-lag.
leave up the clutch.
floor it.
change gear when the change light goes red.
and stay going till you hear something go bang!

I'm with you on that
don't think it's the fasterst, but it's good fun:thumb:
Got a bit of cash for drive shafts and a new box?

on my car, sit in 1st with hand brake on, get the clutch to the bite point and dump hand brake and clutch.

not advisable unless you have a nice strong gearbox like my PPG straight cut box though

thats the easy way yep. :notworthy

thats cheating that!!!

you bunch of computer control wusses,,, pmsl :p

now whered i put that launch control button in my car?????

Everyone is talking about shafts and boxes, must have done dozens of 5,000rpm and side step the clutch in my old Ford 4x4 - nothing ever broke, so maybe Fords are better built than everyone thinks!

the reason the fords didnt break is that they dont have the power/torque :lol1:

As its the shock of dumping the clutch or the torque applied that breaks things , power of course is of no relevance......0-30 time at trax was 2.2s

Simon

shame 30 - 60 was ten minutes 12 seconds,,,,,, pmsl

what about 0-60??

Is that in a WRX? (sounds like a great idea..):thumb:

Take a stopwatch, hit the start/stop button as soon as u start off, and have a look at the speedo when it reaches 60, press the start/stop again on the stopwatch..

u should have a reading ... and post it here lolll

Dream on, 6.6s, not bad for a 2.8V6 back in 1995....even if it was rather heavily tweaked.
