OMG, I just tried the lauch program (AMAX?) on my S5 and what an experience!!!! The car really launched hard but the best part are the shifts... When the car shift into second, the car lurch forward even harder than when it launch. I did it like 15 minutes after lunch and even get a nausea!

You can see the lurch forward in the graph below.

I've yet to try launching mine. 2 questions :

Do the shifts sound different, no fart, just more brutal?

What did you use to record your acceleration parameters?

What’s this launch program on the S5? Brake torque and go?

The way the car shifted took me so much by surprise that I can't say. I really lurch you forward.

From this Audizine post:

"Under normal shifts, the engine is de-rated (drops ignition out) and that's also what produces the classic exhaust 'fart'. With AMAX engaged, it 'keeps the beans on', and the car has a noticeable lurch forward when it shifts."

I used a bluetooth module named Dragy which seems to be the new reference.

Sport, ECS disable, wheels straight, brake torque and go.

Here's a normal launch I did yesterday... This was the first time I floored it from rest. The car tooked so much time to start pulling (compared to my supercharged SQ5) that I was really disappointed and the reason I tried the Launch program. The difference is impressive but not something I would use regularly. I definitely preferred my supercharged engine.

ESC Sport or completely OFF?

ESC Sport

I’ve launched her a handful of times but didn’t try ESC in sport. I’ll have to try it.
