Being a skilled driver

Hey this is my first post on this. I recently bought a black 2008 g37s manual. I don't want to put any mods on it until I am able to get all the power out of My car and control it. I believe it's more of the driver then the car itself. That being said I was just wondering when is the best time to shift for power? What's the best rpm to launch at? Do you take of the traction control when launching ? Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.

If you want to get the most power out of it...Floor it and power shift into the next gear right before redline. hahaha And yes take off traction control. I dont like mine on. After full bolt ons and a lightweight flywheel itll rip the tires lose pretty easily.

Trial and Error ...
A lot of factors involved here ...
Tires - Clutch - Rear - Road Surface and Temperature
Most of all ... your own abilities and of course : practice in a controlled manner and environment.

Being a skilled driver means being a responsible driver. Take it to the track or don't swerve in and out of traffic on public streets...
