AUTO TRANS GUYS HOW ARE YOU LAUNCHING YOUR CARS?
Ok I ordered a ZL1 with an auto trans and it is supposed to be here this week. I have read all of the manual trans post but could not find anyone talking about how to launch auto's.I have done some racing in years past and I just held the brake until I reached an rpm range for that car and just let off the brake and just floored it. Some had a stall converter and some did not. So how are you guys launching the automatic cars?

Doesn't leaving any of the nannies on limit your performance?

I just dont get why guys say "S" for the transmission and not "M". Guess I will have to get over it. Where does the "S" come from?
