Default Explain your launching technique?
does anyone use the handbrake? at what RPM do you drop the clutch? im just curious because ive heard about 15 different strategies from people and I hardly ever see AWD cars at the strip.

For the 6 speed, rev to about 7000, side step clutch, floor it...Quattro takes care of the rest.

Default floor it, dump the clutch, break a driveshaft appears to be the current trend.
'cause Audi clutches, diffs and trannies are indestructible.

Default Keep the RPMs between 2.5K and 3.5K
And half slip, half dump the clutch. It's not a full out sidestep, but ALMOST.
