Tiptronic launch?

[ant1]

Can you launch a Tiptronic like a manual? Hold the revs at 4k in neutral and than select drive and go?

I wouldn't recommend it. There might be a big bang.

If you hold the car in first gear with your left foot on the brake and build the revs up a little (but not excessively), when you release the brake and hit the gas it will take off like a scalded cat. Handy at a traffic light Grand Prix. Takes a bit of practice, so try it out somewhere safe first.

Lol i thought i would check first. The above is how i have been doing it. Same as the old RS6 i had. I think i will stick to doing full launches in my 700bhp Evo :D
