How to launch control with A7 370z?
 

I saw many videos on the youtube about how to do launch control.
Is it possible to do launch control with A7 370z?
Videos on youtube saying that i have to turn VDC off, and put left foot on the break as deeply as i can, and mildly press on gas until rev reachs around 3500~4000, then release the break, and quickly press the gas as hard as i can. I haven't try it out yet, because i'm afraid of ***k up my gearbox.
Is it safe to do launch control? Does it decrease the durability of the clutch & break? What's your IMO about launch control?
plz, reply asap!! Thank you guys

P.S
How can i make rev sound like him??

Reply ASAP? LOL. Have a big race coming?

I'm not sure I'd call holding an AT with the brake while revving 'launch control'...might as well call depressing the accelerator 'launch control' too. Can you hold the car with the brake while revving and then pop the brake and floor it. Sure. However, at a driving class I took last year, the instructor claimed you'll get faster starts just flooring the accelerator from a stop and without holding the car at high rpm with the brake.

If you want your exhaust to sound different, look at the intake/exhaust thread. Prepare to spend some cash.

Chalk your wheels, hold the ebrake, make sure you have a midget in your trunk, and your holding the brake AND the gas pettle down ALL the way. Type R badges will also help

News flash. If you have an AT, you don't have a clutch. And while I'm being nitpicky, you don't have breaks either. Brakes, yes. Breaks, no. Well, hopefully not anyway. :rolleyes:

If you want your A/T to lasts longer,DO NOT try launch control,get the 6MT for the best performance,A/T is for comfort driving,not for racing....

I don't really think that's an accurate statement. So far the 7ATs have proven to be very, very formidable under race conditions.

Launch control is usually a process where the ECU and TCM and a bunch of sensors work together to figure out the perfect launch for you and do it. What you're describing doing is simply launching at a certain RPM.

yup thats nothing like LC thats just old fashion brake boosting an automatic

:gtfo2:

I have the fastest posted 1/4 mile times. A/t ftw.

Yes, an AT is the best choice for a drag race, but not the most desirable for a road race short of a "real" sequential race gear box. Aside from the fact that an automatic takes too much of the driver out of the experience for my liking.

reviving an old thread here.

I too drive an AT and am interested in finding the best launch technique.

So is the general consensus simply to have VDC off and floor it? Or use the brake and rev first?

If reving first is optimal, what would be the suggested rev range? (Without overstressing the gearbox).

I don't think the Auto has a true launch control. Thats one thing I miss from my DSG GTI, I could depress the brake and get on the gas and the RPM would not go higher than 3k RPM, though the sweet spot was around 1500RPM or so. Perfect launches every time. :)

Launching??? Obviously we have a few astronauts here, wish they'd get Lost in space.

i've tried to launch it every which way and if you hold the brake and give it gas its good for about 1500 rpm, as soon as the back wheels twitch the ecu kill the engine power. I launch at 1100 rpm at 27 psig tire preasure and it hooks and cuts a 1.964 60 ft time.
Im waiting for my 2700 rpm torque converter.
Oh Ya the 7 AT is quicker in the 1/4.

good info to know, may come in handy, cheers :tup:
