How to launch a modded Tip?
 
Do you mash the brake and then mash the gas quickly and instantly release? Or do you mash the brake and slowly apply the gas watching the boost build and then release? Is that bad on the transmission and torque converter? I would do it the second way when it was stock and the car would launch, with zero wheelspin nice and hard.. Of course the car is in sport mode with PSm off. Now if I do that, the car explodes off the line blowing the tires off down the entire street. Fun but not the quickest way to go.. If I do it the first way, the car sort of bogs and then takes off, also not the best way.. Maybe I build too much boost off the line? Thoughts?

Sideways launches are the best! ;)

I'm sure the valet boys have done it a few times, ask them.

Or order a PDK with launch control and be done with it.

Oy Vey. Launch a 'tip'? Are you smoking crack?

The topic isn't about 'faster'. It's about LAUNCHING a Tiptronic and how to 'do it'. And the theme is if you LAUNCH it like a PDK- you're an idiot.

Because it wasn't designed to be LAUNCHED like a 'double clutch transmission'.

Got it? :p

Maybe it is you who is an idiot?
