Still trying to learn how to launch this car. I've had mustangs for ever so it's a new learning curve. Pass before this video the car trapped 127 after a good cool down, but rain approaching I decided to hot lap the car and this was the run. Weak second gear shift was due to clutch pedal not coming all the way back up. Need to slip it a little less next time. Enjoy the video

Little long but also has an in car go pro video

Haha thanks. What I should of said is cut a better 60ft I just barely hit a 1.7. The car should be 1.6 and not slip it so hard that's why my 1-2 shift was slow compared to the rest. If I slip the clutch to long it doesn't like to come back up so i still need to find that point.

Def room to be off the clutch a little faster, you will get it. Still a good run and a great sounding car.

do what most guy i know do and that's to change some of the fluid for the clutch after a run like that it helps with the pedal to come back up when it don't want to , don't ask me why but I have seen a lot of guys do this to help with the problem, they suck it out with what ever u can find like a turkey baster lol

Yes I know exactly what you mean. I change my fluid regularly at my house but I don't do it at the track. I usually let the car sit for awhile between each run. But rain was coming and I jumped back in line.
