C7/7.5 How to Launch

[nvygw171]

Brake pressure is quite firm, not like I'm standing on it but enough to keep the car from edging forward. I would say the RPMs were between 1500-2200 upon release of the brake

Great, thanks. My best 60' is 1.79 and i would like to get it into the 1.6's. I've been getting a wierd limp mode every so often with this method so suspect I'm doing something it doesn't like but I'm not sure what.

What I suspect you're doing wrong is holding the brake and throttle for too long. This methodology works only if you perform as an upswing method where you're not holding revs.

Left foot on the brake firm, right foot engages the throttle. As soon as revs build to around 2k, release the brake pedal and floor the throttle. You cannot sit holding revs, it will make the car limp off the line (happened to me once)

Parking brake? I would recommend sticking with the pedal brake

In case you don't know, our cars release the parking brake automatically when applying throttle (and rather easily), so basically stomping it, but with better reaction time, since your right foot is on the gas pedal already, and brake pedal is free. And Inferno, as I said, I've never used LC since I don't like abusing my cars, and would only use it a handful of times if at all. Seems like with a stock S6, it's not even necessary. Thanks for the info to all. Have a great week.
