Best Way Off The Line? (Auto Trans)

Compdoc777

I thought I wanted an auto until I drove one. Thing could not make up its mind and shifting With the paddles was weird. But for auto I would think manual mode 1st gear hold brake pressure on gas turn off VDC. Green light go 100 % throttle.

Don't know if the car has some sort of launch control.

No launch mode.

Deciding on auto vs manual was a hard decision for me. 2 of our other 3 cars are manual, and I knew I would be driving this as a daily driver. I went with the auto because I didn't want "traffic clutch leg". If the Z didn't offer the paddle and/or the "tip" shifter, I would have gotten the manual.

Back to the question, I tried it a few times with the VDC off and got some definite wheel spin. So I'm sure I just need to play with it a bit more to get the right amount of brake/throttle (RPM) going before hitting it. Or, someone who's already figured that out could just answer here so I can save on tires? Wink wink.

And I'm also wondering about with the VDC on. So far for me it doesn't seem like you can do the brake/throttle thing much if at all. It just dies out for like a second or 2, then goes.
