Best way to launch an R-Spec??

[427435]

Today, I was out and about without the DW. In preparation of running across a SS Camaro, I thought I would try a couple of launches. I turned the ESC off, brake torqued it some, and got on it. The first time things went well with some wheel spinning. The next two times, I brake torqued a little harder, spun the wheels more, and the rear drifted a bit to one side------------and then the ESC kick in!!! Would have been embarrassing if anyone would have been around.

What gives you the best results???

good luck man , short of pulling the DSC fuse...

all I can say is you need to have the DSC turned off, keep steering wheel straight (tough when the car is drifting due to wheel spin), and feather the throttle.

ppp

For me the ESC kicks in way harder with the esc off then it does on. When I'm going for it from a stand still, I leave the esc on, put it in manual one, and punch it (do not up shift manually, let the comp do it for you) I am way faster with ESC on then off. Fuse pulled doesnt help me be faster either. This may be harder for the v8s though, I'm a v6

Torque/throttle is retarded on the v8 with ESC on. It's very easy to feel the difference with the mark-1 human butt-dyno, at least in my '09.
