Default Acceleration

What is the best way to get maximum/optimal acceleration from a 2015 S4 with the 7 speed transmission? Using the paddles would seem to allow one to hold the engine in a given gear longer. From a standing start, what is the suggested procedure to use to avoid the engine bogging down? Thank you

For most normal drivers, just look up the specifics on how to use Launch Control. Using dynamic-S you'll likely be as fast as you're going to be without a tune. It won't really redline, but you also don't want that much wear on your engine (especially early miles on a 2015 ! )

Yes, and launch contol will give you the best start. BTW, the computer will not allow you to over rev a DSG car on an upshift.
