Trying to get it down but can not get it to come out of the whole worth anything. Tried several different technics but havent gotten it down, sometimes it will bog sometimes it will push a little, and every once in a while it is decent.

So do any of you TIP owners have any clues or ways to make them launch harder?

thanks

 

Does using the brake cut the throttle in the Tip like it does in the manual cars? If it does, I don't know because the only trick I know to launch and auto tranny is to power brake.

 

Launching Tippy's = Sharky's Specialty

 

yeah same with me, always power brake it.. juding by how the car reacts yeah i think it does..

 

could you explain? lol

 

i remeber when the 350Z's came out a magazine company figured a way to unplug the brake lights so that it would fool the computer and they could do a big burnout out for the cover shoot.. so i unpluged the tail lights..

first launch was VERY good.. Buuuuuut i think it was just cold tires.. next few felt like they always do...

so that didnt work..

 

btw do you put to first gear when you put to manual?
other than that is hand brake...




anyone rep up me if you would....

 

yea i put it in first..

and yeah tried the hand brake too, had the same results as power brakiing it..

 

Try to step on both gas and brake...than leave the brake...it should be good!

 

nope, it cuts power to the engine.. or loosens the brakes and the car kind of leans forward..

 

Please tell me you didn't really do that? Your Porsche's ECU is not the same as the one in the 350z...

But to real advice... Brake Torque but the application process is trial and error with each car...

 

hahah yeah I did, I know the ECU is different and if had taken more then like .2 seconds and a one minute drive down the street i wouldnt have done it.. but i figured what the hell, ill try it haha..

yeah im figuring it is just going to be try and try again untill i find a sweet spot in the car

 

exactly...improving driving skills is the best thing!

 

Send Alex @ Sharkwerks a pm..... HE knows how to do it right!
