Honda Civic VTI (game) 2005. February 27.

Comments:

There's quite long 'pickup' in acceleration, but eventually it reaches the FWD benchmark 0.5 g. This launch was wheelspinning all the way in first, and this was the best out of three attempts. But the second best is a very different curve, and only 0.01 seconds slower. So I also put up that chart, but just as a passive picture. Click here to see it. In that run, wheelspinning was minimal, so after a 1.5 seconds, when the tires found grip, the revs dropped and so did power. For a short time you can see a much lower acceleration figure. Then the driver kicked in the clutch for a moment, this first resulted in a light deceleration, but as soon as the pedal rised back, the wheels were spinning again. Surely not the best way to launch a VTI, but it's an interesting technic. :)
