Garage List
Be smoother and a little more gentle getting off the line, once underway feed in the throttle smoothly, allowing just a little wheel slip, listen for a high pitch squeak as the tyres slip over the pavement.

Thanks Striker....so when calculating 0-60 is this the method most car magazines use...or does it vary, i have noticed how the hard dump of the clutch and accel differs greatly between smooth start then accel, but it seems like you would lose time, or maybe im wrong and dont know what im talkin about

Not sure what method the mags use Zervos.

I am no expert but I feel a smooth release of the clutch coupled with a progressive push of the throttle gives a mechanically sympathetic and quick launch, without hop or excessive wheelspin.

If you are smooth, MDM is safe and quick off the line. If you are rough, MDM can bite you or TC can kill the party.
