Title: Standing start DSG
Post by: spiker on August 14, 2009, 08:57:59 pm
Hi everyone, first time here, looks like a great forum :happy2:

Does anyone feel that its hard to do a quick standing start with the DSG gear box?
Ive tried launch control but it doesnt feel natural.

Love putting it into sports mode just before I get to a roundabout  :laugh:

Welcome to the forum Spiker.  :happy2:

The best method for the launch control is just use lower revs somewhere about 2000 should see you flying off the line  :smiley:

Thanks, I sometimes think that Im going to wear out the gear box if I leave it in drive and put revs on, so I end up taking it out of gear then the lights change lol  :laugh:

As you well know MR greenouse its not just about getting off the line. Yes you knobbled me over 100yds   :notworthy: as the photo's show.
But you got left behind when your fat girls lardy arse needed some speed.  :grin:

I have posted my time over the full race period.  :innocent: I am guessing you wont post yours up. I wonder why.  :pomppomp:

Instead you will post a couple more pics of the only time during the race where you were in front.  :indifferent:  :laugh:
