    3k. anymore, all that torque :D you will get mad wheel hop. But I havent done it on the strip in my 08 and this was done in a parking lot, during the day. Thats my experience with that. 5speed FTMFW :twisted:

    /\ "POP" the clutch and gas, it catches real good like that.

    Rev to the point at which you get the most torque (look at a bunch of 5 speed dynos) and dump the clutch, easy.

    my experience so far is dumpin the clutch is a big no go.

    I way rather slip.

    Thanks for the comments guys

    slippin the cluth at that rpm wears your clutch down alot i wouldnt reccomend doin that

    Push the brake down as far as you can, then press all the way down on the gas, this will activate the torque converter allowing you to create torque in much the same way revving the engine in a 5spd would, then just let off the brake when you're ready to go. Also, don't do this for more than a second or two or you can overheat your tranny fluid, causing complications. Other than that its not really that bad for your car (better than neutral dropping by 1000x), your torque converter won't last as long but don't expect any huge problems.

    Slipping the clutch while revving the engine just further damages your clutch, very bad idea. Trust me, dumping is the only way to go, just practice and you'll get the hang of it.
