potential hazards by holding brake while gassing?, talking about an automatic Options

[daazndood]

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

it's just generally a bad idea.

a lot of strip racers who want good staging practice usually get this thing called a 'line lock' which basically locks the brakes on the front, while they do burnouts with the rear wheels. this allows them to heat up the tires, giving better grip off the line. or just to do a nice burnout.

you're trying to lock your brakes with the same wheels that are providing the power - not a great idea. don't do it, if you want a faster car, sell your 6th gen.
