Best Launch Practice

tomorrow its time for the long awaited race.

997 turbo vs F430....

my car is a tiptronic.

we will do several runs. from standstill and rolling starts.

put the tranny in neutral
rev to redline, then put it in D

just kidding

put one foot on the gas, floored, one on the brakes
once the car is revving, i think it will rev to around 2800 rpm, release the brakes and keep your foot on the gas
make sure traction control is off

since youre racing a ferrari f430
to make the race a little more fair, would you midn if my imaginary sister drove your car ?

i think my a4 1.8t will beat a ferrari

God, i hate ferrari's

997TT-F430 Race in Egypt

Look forward to results of your run with the F-430. Just noticed your post was from Egypt. I lived there 7 years. Fabulous place.

***Be Careful***

Don't forget. If you hold the gas and the brake at the same time for an extended period, the throttle body will close causing a sudden loss in power.

(drive around in a parking lot somewhere and try it. drive around and hold the gas steady, then lightly apply and hold the brakes. the car will fall on it's face.)

My advice would be to hold the brake without giving it any gas. Once you get the go signal, put your foot through the floor.
