This sucks

Hey, remember that video of the GSX who raced the BMW and suffered crankwalk? Ya, that **** sucked.
I was on video.google.com and found the same video but it shows what happened to the engine.

poor gsx

Wow, Hope that I can get a heads up if this is ever to happen to me with my 97' GSX.

Holy cow....damn, that ****'s just crazy....

that is too funny, what a couple of clowns. I almost threw up when I saw his crack finger nail. why else is one finger nail like 3 inches long.

Look at that guy's pinky finger nail when he's holding that connecting rod. Wonder what he does in his spare time *sniff sniff*

that is what I was saying in my last post.... pluss look as the motor blows up in the race the camera looks down at his lap and there is a plastic baggy on his lap and he sounds all cracked out to lol

And am I the ONLY one that noticed that the idiot sitts there at the light and redlines bouncing the rev limiter? I mean Cmon if that isn't ASKING for a crankwalking engine to shyt itself..... He coulda pulled the race off if he weren't an idiot...

Are you serious?! God damn I didn't even notice that. holy **** what moron.

have any of you guys ever seen AWD cars launch??? 90% of AWD drivers bounce the rev limiter on the start because it biulds little sperts of boost and gives you hi RPM take offs. NESpeed and Myself never do that I do a 6K launch and that is more than enough for me.

I mean sang that video you posted asking if it was me messing around of the Black EVO beating that cobra he did the same thing

I don't think I had the sound on for that one so I didn't notice it. I understand bouncing the rev limiter but for as long as he did? Couldn't POSSIBLY be good for the crankwalk issue.

ya well the EVO guy did for just as long. Some AWD guys just rev up and down from 6k-7k really fast because that works the same way

what's the best way of launching with the FWD? if i rev too much i'll burn out, if i dont rev enough i'll turbo lag. is there a happy medium?

not really...like 2000 RPMs and lag

damn, that's sucky
oh well.

I guess i'll go out and continue to work on my launches. I got really good with the old honda.

Its all about feathering the gas i believe. I havn't done it in a while, nor was a very good when i had a FWD. But i think you need to feather the gas a bit first.

2500-3200 drag the clutch a bit while giving the car 75% throttle and then once she is moving pretty good mash the gas.

Isn't it kinda a flow of letting off the clutch and pushing on the gas kinda simultaneously.

Thats what I ment, if you chekco out the vid I made in OT about my car(2 months ago) it shows me launching like that.

that video is so long gone...it must be like 3-4 pages back now lol

more than that

Yeah definately more than that LOL

when was that posted anyway

Oh good god that's like asking when exactly did dinousaurs become extinct...

dude that sucks for the guy, but he definatly didn't know how to push his car. I mean who actually tries to lauch their car at the redline? That's just stupid.
