Default Best way to launch an automatic car....?

I've tryed playing around alittle and just by the feel of it i think the best way is holding the handbreak and gas and then dropping the handbreak..If i do it by holding the foot break ecu will kick in after 4 sec. and cut the power....maby im wrong can anyone help???

Default sure...

put it in neutral...get the gas up to 5000rpm and drop the shifter to D.


Let us know how it goes....


Truth be told with today's electronics who know what would happen...With the pre 80's cars.. you could do this and get rubber and all sorts of good things...you just couldn't make a habit of it or you would be picking up your tranny off the road.


BMW has a 'launch code" for their DSG in the M3 and M5. A few special inputs and it will launch yo at 6000 rpm.
