How To Launch An Automatic Car The Fastest Way Possible.
Just because your car is an automatic does not mean you cant have fun on the road or at the drag strip. While it’s not as difficult to launch an automatic as it is a manual transmission vehicle, there are some tips that will get you off the line in the quickest amount of time.

The first step is to put your car in sport mode. I’m in an e93 BMW 3 series so to do this you push the shift level over to the left. Many cars are different, some have a button and others have a turn dial. If your car doesn’t have this feature don't worry about it. This will sharpen throttle response and in some cases the suspension for a better takeaway.

Next and most importantly turn on traction control. On most modern cars ignoring exotics having traction control on will limit your ability to launch. In this car you hold the DSC button. Yours maybe different.

When drag racing at the track reaction times play a significant role in the outcome of the race. In general its suggested you takeoff on the third yellow of the christmas tree as waiting for it to turn green will leave you in the dust.

To have as quick of a launch as possible place your left foot firmly on the break and your right foot resting on the gas. Most automatics will limit your revs to about 1500. Give the car gas to about 1500 to 2000 rpm and when the third yellow hits release the break and floor it.

In a car with less than 300hp youll likely be able to floor it all the way with no issues. Obviously if you have an automatic 500hp car thats rwd youll have to feed the throttle in more slowly.


There you have it I hope you found this helpful.
