The only thing the clutch is good for is to get the tires loose with a clutch kick or to detach the engine drag from the wheels if one so desired.

- spookthesunset 4y agoWouldn’t a motor be able to chirp the tires all by itself? Dunno how much drag the motor would create if allowed to spin freely…
- Sohcahtoa82 4y agoA clutch-kick can dump more torque into the wheels than the motor could possibly produce. Though a clutch-kick in an ICE operates based on the inertia of the rotating engine. I wonder how much inertia an electric motor has and if a clutch-kick would even be as effective. What they really need is a hydraulic parking brake lever. Being able to lock the rear tires is a necessity for drifting situations when you want to increase angle while also scrubbing speed.
- culopatin 4y agoYou need a peak in torque on the wheels usually. Some can depending on how much power they make.
- manual89 4y agoYep, I'd be interested in this psuedo-manual only if it simulated this aspect of the ICE original.
