Launching your FT-86
 

I've been trying to find out which is the best RPM to launch your FT-86 (FR-S, BRZ, Toyota FT86) from a standing point, I've read a few articles but some go to 5000RPM +/- but they call some wheelspin :iono:, but then claim that once the traction hit you are in the higher RPM range so you compensate the wheelspin from the power of the engine...

I've done a few test myself and so far the best i've found was 3500-4000RPM to minimize the wheelspin with some light feathering.

Mine is a manual so i just drop the clutch, a friend of mine as a auto and he wants to launch it too. :burnrubber:

Dont know much about the autos... can you drop from Neutral to 1st ? as a jump ? or you have to double pedal it ? (brake and push the REV-up ?

Thanks for your time

I am not FT-86!

More important matter at hand here:
"You're" != "Your"

Auto should not be dropped into drive from neutral while revving. That would be bad for the transmission if the car even allowed it. Break + gas is probably the best option there.

Can't help you on the launching MT issue as I haven't found a need to. I'm sure someone else will have some good advice on that.

AT launch requires a brake stand, but it's tricky due to the fact that some emergency system (blame the unintended acceleration fiasco) restricts the RPM to 2.5k if the brake is depressed. You can get around it, but it takes a little practice.

Basically, depress the brake completely, then let off just a little bit. You should be able to rev the car all the way up at that point.

No, You're a towel!

sorry i aint a gramma nazi :P LOL just trying to find out the best launch RPM :P lol

Thanks

What about the "Sport" mode?

What about it?

If you don't know the difference between your and you're, just use ur cause you're a dolt.

Knowing proper grammar doesn't make one a nazi, it just means they can comprehend proper grammar.

The reason for launching at 5k is to not bog the motor. Slip the clutch as fast as possible without causing the car to bog or cause wheelspin. Best way i can put it in words.

Bring it up to about 7000rpm's and slooooowly let out the clutch....

What do you break before you give gas?

In summation, if you're going to give someone crap, make sure you don't make an almost as bad mistake while doing it!

Touche. I do that all the time. I will proofread my shit before I poop in another's shoes next time.
