Default fastest start 0-400 m.

Hi!
I'm C4, 1995, automatic, owner.
I'll make the race vs Porsche carrera 4(1995), and I'd like to know what is the fastest way to start from 0-1/4 mile?
From which gear and with or without traction control? :steering:

For the metrically challanged, 400m is only about 8 feet less than 1/4 mile.

No traction control, it over corrects

Like stated above, don't use traction control.

Providing you have good tires, just give it gas to get it rolling a little and then hammer it. If the tires lose traction then let up on the gas just enough to get them to regain traction, then floor it again.

Leave it in "D" and traction control off.
