My TTS had a DSG, and Launch Control was an option. The B9.5 S4 with a ZF trans doesn't have Launch Control, but is there a way to do a Launch Control-type start without hurting the trans? I raced an S3 recently. I don't know if he was chipped, but it sounded like he did use Launch Control. He beat me by several car lengths off the line. After that neither of us gained any ground.
How can I get off the line faster without damaging the ZF? Back in the muscle-car days we would brake-torque the trans, but that would fry it pretty quick. I've avoided trying that with my S4.
