  • How do you launch your car?

    Hello folks,

    Just wondering how the most experienced DS3 drivers would launch their cars on a drag race?

    Thanks!

        Any chance you mind putting mine on tow?

            At the Red light olympics? I usually take the clutch into consideration and put trust in the insane ethanol boost that starts after 2800rpm

              Indeed: easy on the clutch and trust the boost! Has been succesful for me so far. (except that one time versus an Audi R8 )

                  Not sure I'd ever dare do a full bore standing start in the DS3, that wooly clutch will probably just explode...

                    Go to your local Tesco's and get a free plastic bag ...............go back to the launch site and then collect up your transmission in said mentioned bag ............Simples !!

                      I didn't know it was possible to add a launch control system through software.

                            Not yet, it needs more work to get it just right
                            And for THP only.

                              Its not a full launch system as it doesn't integrate with the ESP. More of a traffic light rpm limiter lol
