Tell me what you think. I have been doing a few more launches recently, but is there any improvment I could do judging by this video? I have red Protane inserts, yet wheelhop is still very prevalent. Mods in sig, yet most are useless with the NGC

That accelerated pretty quick, good job!

Whew, watch that gas gauge go down!

Thats only on the SRT that you can just watch the needle fall

Nice Vid!

nice vid, that thing's pretty quick

I <3 R/T's.

Yeah, I like R/Ts also. I really wanted an R/T when I bought my '02 SXT but couldn't afford it. Hubler Dodge here in Indy had a leftover '01 R/T with the Dodge Motorsports package (black paint, Slate Grey leather interior including the armrest , logo stiched on the headrests, compass/temp mirror, sunroof, etc.) when I was shopping but dummy me didn't buy it (good thing too since the car I bought got totalled later!). I wouldn't mind having an '02 or '03 R/T for a daily driver if I ever have any spare cash (ha-ha!).

I need to make a video like that with my neon...too bad my speedo doesn't work, but u can watch my tach climb thru the gears....

nice job, need to work on your shift from 1 to 2 though, looks like you only went to 6500 rpm which dropped you way below the 5k mark (secondaries open), but you did an awesome job on the 2 to 3 (which was my worst)!

Nice job

Noiceeeeee. Solid man.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys/gals

GOD DAMMIT I WANT A MAGNUM INTAKE!

tell em how you really feel jon

... I think that's faster than mine.

What brand and size of tires do you have on? Temperature makes a difference too. Once I put my red Prothane inserts in, I was able to do a couple REALLY smooth launches with no hop at all one day on asphalt (about 65 degrees out)....and the next day I couldn't get it to launch without hopping for the beans of me.

Dropping the clutch at 4000 and feathering the throttle a bit till redline in 1st is what I did to get no hop that one time. And the 1st to 2nd shift was peaches too....I wish I would have been at the track when I did it.

Well I had Kuhmo Ecsta ASX's back then with about 50% thread left. 195/50/16's. As the tires wore out some more, I got less wheelhop and more tire spin with my launches ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6JC1FxaSMQ ) Now I just put new BFGoodrich G-Force Sports on my car and get lots of wheelhop again. 205/50/16's. I'm assuming that newer tires get more wheelhop since they grip better, while old tires allow more tire spin due to less traction. I would prefer tire spin over wheelhop though. Temp was around 78F. And yes, post from the dead...sort of.
