[email protected] SG Post your known procedures for launching cars here. For auto cars, is it better to put it into N, rev to desired rpm and then shift into D? or is it better to step on the gas to desired rpm point and use the brakes to hold the car back?
toyota_lover SG wah.....use auto to make quick launch ah?!?! Heartache ah... N then D to rev and launch, can use it when you wanna show off spin the wheels. But use it often better pray hard for your precious gear box. Hold brake to rev and launch, guess your clutch beri fast will up the lorry. At the end of the day, wanna play play use a manual car loh. But if tat car is a saloon car, can forget it lah. Waste time nah....
saab95 SG U might find this hard to believe but the fastest I have done was achieved by first letting the car creep in a controlled pace rather than flooring it, not as in immediate pedal to the metal but a steady (fast but not instantenous) shove to the metal......somehow the car is about 0.5 seconds faster to a hundred
[email protected] SG that was roughly how i got the 7.8 for the ATR as well, by letting it creep. When i tried revving to about 3000rpms and then shoving the gear into D got me about 8.2. slower by about... yes. 0.5s as well.
dansplace SG hahahaha... was wondering how you launched to get your 7.8secs. And I guessed that was what you did - and was right...
bismarck SG at first i thought heng was teaching us the procedures of how car manu companies lanuch new cars
sv3n SG sorry ar..one qns..how do u guys time while u are launching?isnt that dangerous?!??! hahaha....and where u guys do that?
[email protected] SG find a deserted rd, in the wee hours of the morn. must be careful no cars around. i strapped a watch which has a stopwatch function to the steering wheel.
saab95 SG Actually, I too buay zhai to do what Heng does. Seriously G-Tech most accurate but not everyone is willing to part with the $$$ for it....me included. Wat I do is get my petrolhead neighbout to do the honours using a stopwatch while I drive. Take average of three runs on empty stretch of road...dun want to say where....... Aircon on & off can make a difference, even in powerful cars....so next time if kenna challenge, remember to switch aircon off....for that little extra power.
[email protected] SG i went as far to switch the headlights off as well. diff is prob about 0.2 of a sec
saab95 SG To get better time we also need a windsock to tell direction of wind. So if go WITH the wind....should be a little faster Only Joking.
bunny2002sg SG Launch control is 2 prevent wheelspin during takeoff (aka burnout), which wears out tires quickly and adversely affect acceleration of the car... There are aftermarket Launch Control Systems that do the job 4 you, but they are quite expensive...
