on a drag strip or at the lights, what is the best method of launching with tiptronic?

Turn ON sport mode,
Put into 1st gear
How do I keep the revs at 3500 or 4000 rpm steady?

 

By applying your brake.

 

psm off,sport on,tiptronic to drive,full brake (i mean really hard brake)with left feet,pedal to the metal with right feet(dont push the kickdown)...wait 5 seconds as the car vibrates,observe the boost goes 0,7-0,8 and let go the brake...Have your p box turned on...you will love the results...
this procedure is called brake boosting...i dont know whether there is a launch control as well...

 

OP - You start the most remedial threads. No one wins with chicktronic!

 

chicktronic!!!That was fun...However from a standstill chicktronic is unbeatable...

 

I LOL'ed for a second, until I remembered that tiptronic cars are faster then 6 speeds....

 

The exact reason i bought a tip 997...

 

+1.. Hes an attention *****..

 

This is already an endless debate, chicktronic is like having sex with a leather condom no fun in that

 

I think 1 second is enough, just to load the Torque Converter and build some boost (arrow sign appear on boost meter). Full throttle and brake will heat trans oil very fast.

 

Make sure you have the contact details of a workshop that rebuilds tiptronics

 

ha ha ha...that was fun...it seems that i am making the runs while you re rebuilding your trans though...
P.S. I never said i do it on regular basis...i just explained the procedure...

 

The tiptronic might fail any time or might be abused an never fail. In my case i never ever did any brake launches since i could do 3,1sec 0-100 runs.
But on a car with modded VTG's as another member said, for the tiptronic to fail its a matter of time.

 

This is the way to break your first tiptronic trans... trust me..
