hey guys. i was wondering if it would be bad for a car if i were to hold down the brake and gas at the same time , sorta like to launch the car by releasing the brake.
i noticed that i can go 0-60 in 10.2 seconds if i just step on the gas alone, but if i hold down the brake and rev the engine to about 2k(thats highest i can keep it before it starts moving) and release the brake i can hit 60 in 9.4. i was just wondering if i am hurting my car. i really dont do this that much and i dont try to race or speed anyways. thanks guys |

I did that at the track at the DWG meet. Held the brake pedal to the floor, with the gas pushed to the floor. The car reved to 2.5k and stayed there. Green light, droped the brake, and took off.
no problems since....::knocks on wood:: --------------------  Kawi Love |
