Thread: how high do you rev up before moving from a full stop?

  1. #1

    how high do you rev up before moving from a full stop?

    just curious to see how other ppl are doing this. i hardly rev at all, lol. the car idles at 800-900rpm and i rev to about 1100-1200 rpm when in 1st gear going from a full stop. most of my friends rev up to 2k-ish before they start moving.
    i guess i dont gas up more because it kinda became my habit. my parking spot is next to my neighbor's car and when i go home, i would always rev BARELY enough to go in and not stall because i set off his car alarm, lol.

    i hardly rev at all either. just to about 1100 and i'll start moving.

    i think people that rev up to 2000+ are letting the clutch out late

    ~15-2k.

    the car shudders mean if i dont rev it and slip it. and im sure a bigger turbo isnt really helping either. i try to keep the RPMs low, but fk me if im gonna kill my clutch because its doing something wierd. wouldnt it be just awesome if i glazed the surface of the plate and i had to replace the clutch?

    Most of the time, I usually roll right off the clutch from a dead stop on level roads and declines... If it a decline is deep enough, I can take off in 2nd or 3rd just rolling off clutch...

    On inclines and reverse, I'll blip it once or twice before I slip the clutch...

    You guys go by rpm numbers?! I do it by sound. I believe it was a C#.

    Will hold at 6500rpm till I smell burning clutch ha ha! No seriously, probably around 1000-1200 rpm as long as I'm not bogging the engine or it shakes as if it's ready to stall

    it really depends on how fast you wanna leave the stop right? you can't clutch out fast when yuo're at 1200 it'll bog the car. you have to be at least at 2k. if you're just mosying around 1.2k is fine.

    Absolutely. If I'm not going to be doing any jackrabbit starts, then yeah, the car pretty much bogs as I ease off the clutch. Just habit, I guess.

    It's nice to be able to set your stationary rev limit. That way you always hit 5000 rpm before you start moving.
