I was wonderin what was the best way to launch an auto from a dig. I heard that most people hold the brakes down to the floor and step on the gas right before the wheels are going to break. But one of my friends said he launches his by putting it on Neutral ( on a flat surface) revves it up and pops it to D. will this work better or will it just make you buy a new tranny faster??

 

do not, i repeat, DO NOT, do that. neutral drops cause hell on automatics. load it up(apply the brake, and hold the gas until right b4 the tires break). try that, or, just hold the brake, and when youre ready to take off, just, let off the brake and apply gas. hold brake with left foot, have right foot above gas pedal. when ready. let off brake, press accelerator. 2 methods. try which one nets you better times. but, DO NOT, neutral drop. K ?? k.

Edit: i just saw that......umm, yeah. really quick too. but hey, if u wanna try it, by all means. just, dont say we didnt warn ya...

 

$$$$

 

alright but hey he's the one asking for a new tranny... I drive stick
but thanks for the info

 

ohhh. ok. gotcha. no problem. thats why we're here

 

i dont see the advantage of doing a neutral drop anyway. there is usually a delay before it actually engages

 

There is NO advantage

Ya I second that I compleatly destroyed a transmission on my old car doing that, trying to show off for my friends..... of course it was a taurus so I just looked like an idiot..... oh well

 

neutral drop = new tranny dont do it

i launch by holding the break down and pulling the e-break so it wont cut the rear tires errr tire loose
