In like 95% of instances i'll start off below 1k and accelerate as needed after. If i'm launching the car i'll start at 3k
Car idles at like 750 for me.. not sure why u guys are having trouble with low starts. Plus I have a track pipe.. if i started first at 1500 every light or in traffic it would seem a bit ridiculous |

The engine sounds like a can of bb balls being shaken up if you take off at 1000-1500 unless you ride the crap out of the clutch and baby it while you make 1 torque, Im surprised to see so many answers saying they take off that low. At least my engine absolutely hates if you give it gas while the clutch is fully engaged anywhere below 2500. I usually take off at around 2k since it's the RPMs that gives me the least slip time.

I never paid attention till I read this thread. After "researching" it turns out I usually launch at 1500 RPMs.

A fair amount, a modern vehicle tuned for a higher octane will reduce timing and therefore power on a lower octane fuel to prevent knock. If an engine is producing reduced power you will need to push the pedal harder and burn more gas to maintain your typical driving habits (merging on the freeway, cruising at 65).
(coincidentally this ties in with why turbo engines are now so popular, they are pseudo "high displacement" high power very thirsty motors when required such as merging and then when off the throttle they are small displacement gas sippers) I've read and heard the correlation is that for every dollar you save filling up with low octane you loose about "a dollars worth of range" (i.e. you basically filled it up with ~$1 less of fuel from full of higher octane) so you cost of fuel/mile is the same with the cheaper fuel. I've never bothered to verify for myself so idk. Quote:
Also, remember the conversation we had a few weeks back about how the younger generation is afraid to make mistakes? This thread is another good example, they don't want to fuck up their sports car, they want to operate their transmission the best that they can based on a wide set of datapoints and suggestions. |

I always went by feel and the sound of the engine. I paid attention to the tach today and its usually around 1200 rpm.

Usually at or just under 2k I'll let the clutch out fairly quickly but smoothly and it isn't jerky.
Anything less and my cars headlights start to dim and the car feels like it's gonna stall on me. Keep in mind this is in traffic scenarios where you gotta get moving quickly. I can get the car going without even using the gas but that is so unrealistic in my area because I'd be a snail on the road. |

For everyone who knows what a M/T should feel like but has trouble with this one. I can't say it enough.
It's the clutch! It's the clutch! It's the clutch! Can I get a witness? @Koa, @Phantobe, @Jonesy86, @Decay107, @JB86'd, @504, @Andrew025... Guys, this mod is cheap, easy, and totally reversible if you don't like it. The difference is dramatic and the feel of the clutch becomes totally intuitive.

Driving habits and Octane are mutually exclusive. If a car is "tuned for a higher octane" then its probably a requirement to use Premium octane. If we take use that logic, a car tuned for "regular" Octane would get better MPG. Which is not true. Octane has an effect on Performance, but not MPG.
