Whats the best way to launch this car? I turned off PSM, selected sport, brake torqued in manual and the car falls on its face. In Drive I got 3.6 0-60 on my one and only try with the Vbox.

So far I love this car!!

Sport on
Manual and in 1st
Push the brakes all the way
Don’t accelerate gradually… just put the pedal to the metal
The RPM with top off at 4500 or 5000 a little arrow will show up on your Rev-screen
Release the brake
Oh traction off

Enjoy....

 

Congrats Allan! Looks good in your garage. You should have gone for a .2 PDK for the best of both worlds

 

Nice purchase !

A tribute to the Italian/German friendship

 

PDK is too expensive... Rather use the additional funds to go towards a Supersports...

 

Really? that high in the revs? Traction control is the PSM button right?

 

Congrats Allan, goes well next to your G.

 

congrats! Love the white

 

fyi the Tiptronic Turbo does NOT have launch control!!!!!!!


Only PDK equipped cars. So if you're trying to launch the car with a Automatic, you're burning up the Torque converter. And with a manaul, you're burning up the clutch plate.

With the Tiptronic, just put mild pressure on the brakes and hit the accelerator so as suggested the revs go to about 4500; but really what you're seeking to do is put some light boost on with the turbo's.

With Manual do a search on how best launch a m/t car. The key is getting your boost up. With Sport Chrono equipped Turbo's, make sure 'sport' is on. When you floor it- you'll get a 10 second over boost to 505hp.

 

'Grats Allan. But gonna need more pics of the voluptuous blond in the 1st pic...
