No go for Launch ***This has nothin to do with NASA***
What i'm tryin to say is i have a 99 trans am A4, with a Lid, Cutout, hypertech, and free mods.
From a 40 punch i'm pretty deadly which is badass
But i can't Launch off the line for ****....all i do is spin my tires. And usually the car next to me knows how to launch and i end up having to try and play catch up......which i almost allways can but its kinda stupid like that.
Any help would be nice thanx.
(this is help with street tires)

Re: No go for Launch Learn to roll into the throttle and get some Nittos. Those are the two main things. You can get all the suspension mods in the world, which will help with wheel hop and a LITTLE with traction, but if you just punch the throttle, you'll still spin like crazy.
