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 |
