RS4/RS5 Launch Control too much?

Post by Noyjatat » Fri Jun 05, 2015 10:30 am

A few of us now have run in our cars and given the launch control a go. Some of us have run at Santa Pod as well and we are consistently slower than expected. I am beginning to wonder if the rev setting is too high as the cars I have seen seem to bog down. Be interested to hear your thoughts.

Mine bogs down in rear wheel slip on anything other than the best surface with warm tyres.
I get almost as good results by just mashing the throttle, but the time it takes is a little slower to react

I am thinking of getting MRC to dial it down to 4000 rpm to see if thats any better after all that seemed to be the best way to launch my B7 RS4
