Is this how the rest of you guys launch your AWD Legacy Turbos? I used to be
able to get wicked launches with my car until I got my clutch replaced in '98.
Since then I've never felt comfortable revving it up to launch it. It feels as
if I'm gg to break something. Thus, I never get a good when street racing. So
is this the way to do it by slipping the clutch at 4700 RPM? By the way my
clutch with only 50,000 kms on it is still slipping once in a while for like
the past 6 mths! My mechanic can't figure it out! What the hell is gg on
here?? Some times I drive it hard and it holds no problem and the next day I'm
not even gg all out and it slips on me!!!

There are some very tried and true wayas to get a good launch on
pavement...this is how I have always done it on an AWD turbo car (which I
have onwed 4, an '88 All Trac Celica, a '99 2.5 RS with a turbo 2.5 motor
(ran mid 12's), and then an STi V4 swap (runs high 11's), a '00 Audi S4, and
now the Legacy Turbo)....rev up to about 4500, blipping the throttle to 5k,
as the needle swings back "up" during a throttle blip towards about 4700,
quickly let out on teh clutch to the friction point, hold it (thus inducing
some slippage and front wheel spin), and give it some more gas..once fully
enggaged, car will be lurching forward and revs will build quickly, and at
this point you should be off the gas and totally on throttle.
Granted, this is not an everyday driving technique, as you will surely place
premature wear on the drivetrainc omponents over time, but when you do need
to do a quick start, this works well, and is not hamrful to the gearbox when
done correctly
