hogmaw Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I found myself in the fortunate position of being at front of the queue at a red light with a new Carrera S next to me. Dry, empty, flat straight road ahead. I'm in a stock TT auto. Oh yes. Lights changed we got to about 60 then he done me... shit I started in D and floored it. Would it have been better to use manu and go thru the gears, or start in 2nd and leave it there or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Power brake in D will help. In D, foot on brake, add throttle to 2000rpm, lights change, release brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Um, i would say turn off o/d, turn of traction/slip control .... put box in D, Foot on brake, throttle to 2600rpm, and LIFTOFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Tell him he has a flat wheel and when he looks, just boot it and go for it *grin* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 thought that would have been the other way round.....he done you upto 60 then you should be going past him after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 i would say turn overdrive off, put it in manual mode, in 1st hold foot on brake build revs up to about 2000rpm wait for green then give it some shifting gears at about 6000 - 6500. dont hold it for too long on brake or you will get your gearbox fluid too hot. just need to practice.
