Different techniques work best for different people. Some people like to dump the clutch from a couple thousand rpms, and some people like to slip it out.

The dump technique works by revving the car to a little below the desired rpm, then dumping out the clutch as you floor it.

The slip technique basically involves revving to a couple thousand rpms, quickly letting the clutch out until it begins to grab, flooring it while slipping a little to keep the rpms up, and letting the clutch out all the way.

Basically, you're trying to induce a little wheelspin so you don't bog, but not too much wheelspin so you just burn.

How did you get your picture of your car in your signature?

I loaded a picture of the 2001 onto a website that hosts my images. Then I used the code

{img}address of image{/img} replace the {} with []
