full of it or not
 

This guy is ralking about launching with a Tip tranny. Then Maverick says to hold the brake down and push the gas down all the way until you hear a click. is this guy full of it?

RE: full of it or not
 

Ive held the break all the way down and give it a lil gas until its about 4-5 rpms and pull out the break, on my car. but ive never heard of putting the gas all the way down until it clicks

RE: full of it or not
 

its called powerbraking, but i've never heard of anything clicking before. just spins the tires if your rwd and have enough torque

RE: full of it or not
 

your car sort of acts like rwd when you do that. you need better brakes though cuz stock ones will only do it up to a certain point.

RE: full of it or not
 

Its called brake torquing and you dont want to do it all that often. It generates alot of heat and can damage the trans. Nothing should click thou. On some of the newer cars with drive by wire it isnt even possible as the brake overrides the accelerater and limits engine revs.

RE: full of it or not
 

he's probably talking about the the pedal being pressed down all the way. which can feel like a click. either way, anybody who abuses a Tip like that is an IDIOT!

RE: full of it or not
 

brakestanding is for rear wheel drive cars mainly... you hold the brake just enough so it really only grabs the front wheels... leaving the rear wheels to rip in place...

RE: full of it or not
 

thats a no no with tip tranny.

RE: full of it or not
 

ya, def. not good on the tranny:(

RE: full of it or not
 

That's what I thought as well. I hope the guy doesn't try it cause he's gonna blow his tranny.
