yup....
I have only updated my ideas which avram based his ideas on with if your gonna go a hard launch do a couple 1200rpm throttle blips before launching. It does something to the trottle program to make it respond better and more predictable.

Isn't that how we all learned to drive stick?
No offense to anybody, but all this talk about launch techniques has resulted in a return to some variation of the old "smoother is faster" theme. I'm old (relatively...37 here), and I would never dream of revving up the engine and dumping the clutch, or any of the other forms of abuse that many of the guys here subject their cars to on what seems like a regular basis. It's not really a money issue, since I usually don't keep cars long enough to wear out a clutch. It's more that is just seems somehow akin to using a fine Global chef's knife to chop firewood. It will work, but why waste precision engineering on a brutal task.
It's just more that...well....I can feel proud of a perfect quick launch if it's smooth and efficient. It's its messy and loud and brutal, well...no matter how fast it is, I don't get much satisfaction from it. I guess that means i'm getting...m..mmm...mm..mmature. (God, that's hard to say!)

Well...
Traditionaly the best way to launch an audi is a 3K clutch dump style launch. This ia mainly from the turbos. When you do this you have already spooled up the turbos before you even go anywhere. That the main reason. Since many people are coming from the 2.7TT engine they persist on this idea. Also energy transfer happens faster the faster and higher the slip occurs. I agree and thats why after everyone was saying do this do this. I said that and then avram applied it to his research. Oh and I am one of youngins of the board, so its not just an "old person idea" as you lead on to :-P
