Default A8 Launch Control?

Anyone help me out on this. How does it work?? I have some street runs in mexico and 335 30 18 drag rads in rear coming so trying to get the best launch out of the car. I will be taking it to the drag strip also so trying to get the best 60 foot. IM used to big converters on LS cars/trucks so seeing how to make this car 60 foot better.

The best 60' times at the strip will come without launch control. On the street it might be worth using.

The launch control ...uhmm sucks

you will be way ahead doing it your way

my worst 6o' are with launch control

tap the traction control button twice quickly, the menu comes up on the dash....several settings from wet to track

stab throttle

release brake or let clutch out....and your on....
