i personally saw a significant increase in my zero to 60. . i didnt time it but i just knew it was quite a bit faster and its a little easier to launch

I posted that video up to the tubes for a response to another thread a few months back, and I have no clue what kinda of damage its causing but I can tell you this, this car launches so hard that my fronts are spinning for about .5 to 1 seconds and I have no doubt that it can beat a couple of really quick cars off the line.

Just the other day a Cadillac CTS-V (556hp super charged version) rolled up next to me and we both gave it our all and I was able to stay ahead of him all the way to 80mph, then he over took me but thats the kinda of launch its got. Just incredible.

Because I have no idea whats going on in the tranny when I launch it like that, I don't do it often. Maybe once every few months, but you gotta have some fun. Cmon, people who buy this car don't puttputt to work with it, we drive it to enjoy it. Take your cars health into your own hands if you will but its worth a try for any one who has a ralliart.

I might have to give this a shot! I just hold the break a little, push the gas to 3 grand and let go Do you have to tap in a sort of a beat? or just a furious tapping?

10 bucks says the cts-v was spinning the whoole time, a cts-v should put bus lengths on 99 percent of guys talking here. . and its kinda doubtful that i myself would even have him all the way to 80 unless his tires were bald. . sorry i just never would compare my car to a cts-v.

He def. spun a bit but got it all sorted out within 2nd but he was right there with me, till about 80. No lie.

Possible that the guy didn't know how to shift properly.

I don't mean to compare, just saying this type of launch has got some *****.

you dont have to go any higher than 3k just floor it.

you know the hard part is not performing this launch its perfecting it and learning how to get good reaction times

well i know that if i just floor it from a stop, sport mode or not, it takes pretty damn long to start going . . cant really launch with anything by just flooring it if you ask me
