Default Bad launch time!

I'm having a little trouble with my launch times! I think im droping the clutch to fast, because it seams like my tires spin for ever! Should I feather the clutch a little? or am I just launching to high? any suggestions would be cool?

i laucnh at 3.5 and dont really have that much tire spin. of course i dont dump the clutch which is what it seems like u are doing. it all takes practice to get it down to perfection

Try getting a good launch on a mustang(my other car), then launching a integra is easy. At least you go straight (well mostly, torque steer is a problem on high horsepower fwd)
