Launching AWD

[HeavyH20]

I recall, back in the day, the AWD guys would launch their cars at the track while the car was dog tracked (not perfectly straight, but a little to the side). They claimed it got them out of the "hole" a lot better and improved 60 foot times. It also generated a little torque steer and wheelspin that helped get the engine into the power band.

I thought, if anyone knew, it would be the folks with the MS6. Any corroboration?

I know I tried it in my fun, albeit slow, CX-7 and it did make an apparent difference (.4 secs to 60 MPH). I did it a few times to make sure it was not a fluke.

ya know i was actually wondering if that would help.

cuz its hard for a 4 cylinder car to pull such good stats: quarter mile times/trap speeds/60ft times, with literally NO WHEEL SPIN lolololol .

and launching at even a slight angle will give you a little wheel spin, i know that haha

hmm interesting. time to hit up the DSM forums!
anybody else tried this??
