How To Launch An Automatic Car The Fastest Way Possible
Timecodes:
just because you have an automatic card
does not mean that you can't have fun on
the road or at the drag strip well it's
not as difficult to launch as a manual
vehicle of course there are some tips
that you can use to get off the line as
quickly as possible the first step is to
activate sport mode I'm in an e 93 BMW
3-series so to do that you push the
lever while you're in drive over to the
left some cars it's a button others you
turn a dial some don't even have it so
if your car doesn't don't worry about
this step however for most vehicles it
heightens the throttle response and in
some it even tightens the suspension for
a better take away next and most
importantly you turn off the traction
control in most modern cars save for the
exotics turning off the traction control
is going to help you launch quicker to
do that in this car you press the DTC
button and hold it for about 10 seconds
and you get an indicator there's a
little triangle with an exclamation
point many cars are different but this
is key next you're gonna place your left
foot on the brake firmly and rest your
right foot on the gas most automatic
cars will limit the revs to about 1500
or 2000 when you have your foot on the
brake
you can't rev it to 4000 rpms and dump
the clutch like you can on a manual
vehicle or a car with launch control but
that's to protect your engine so with
your left foot on the brake rev it up to
1500 rpms and when the third yellow
light goes at the drag strip on the
Christmas tree release the brake with
your left foot and floor the gas
