Default First Launch!

Wow...I have been working on this car (not consistently) since June....but the first launch today made it worth it. Im still breaking the engine in, and still have some bugs to work out, but I decided to try a little launch and see what the combo had. Damn! It launches perfectly. Not too much wheelspin...just perfect. A perfect launch. I am very happy :) Now I just hope this pos tranny lasts. I had problems with it at first, and It was getting hot, so I hope it isnt ruined.

Brake stand to load up the T/C or did you just let off the brake and jump on it?

These C3s have a neat feel when they launch.
