S3 S-Tronic Launch control

I presume before his engine imploded then

Don't know if it imploded but was a little smokey.

Anyway im counting that as a victory on terms of reliability. I was there till the rainy end!

Ill be a lot closer to him next time...

Nitrous is only good for 0-60 runs, you'd fly past him on the drive home

 

[RobH_S3]

AA trucks are easy to overtake

On the launch thing, maybe better to just sit there and floor the throttle without even trying to launch it?

A remap will probably disable it, a gearbox map definitely will.

York raceway today 12.730@105mph not bad for a stock car with an exhaust.

Congrats, great time! I hope, that a stock car will be able to run 12's, will see in 2-3 weeks.

 

[RobH_S3]

Fully Stock cars run 12.9's

@flibble But then you'll get a rubbish time, at the end of the day you're racing the clock not the person next to you, its just nice to set off at the same time.

My completely standard S3 Sportback S-tronic consistently ran 12.9 secs at Santa Pod a couple of weeks ago, with a best terminal speed of 106 mph
