Re: C4 traction, hook up, hooking up, collective how-to thread

My $.02 on launching a C4 is to stick with the dual mass flywheel as long as you can. In my opinion it actually helps launch the car rather than hurting it. After consistent 1.7s on the motor and 1.5s on the bottle and never so much as a squeak from the rear in my '96 (including some wheels up launches), I'm convinced that sprung flywheel is key. Traction was never really an issue since the tires were not getting whacked by the clutch hit, including 4,000rpm launches on the bottle making 550rwtq.

Of course, a dual mass will only really work with the stock motor.
