But did you launch using the TC stall approach?

tell us more Mr DTM... 

Incidentally, very happy for you Mr The Bear! Did a couple of 'rough' test myself a bit back and got around 10 secs. Again, one was a slightly downhill sliproad, which affected things. According to the brochure they changed the diff on the 2.5 CDXs the year after mine were built - which accounts for  better 0-60 time - so the brochure suggests, or this may be simply a misprint.

Selector into D,left foot hard on brake,right foot flat to floor on go pedal,revs will peak at probably about 2.5k,slide left foot off the brake pedal and hold tight,thats the stall approach

Jesus!! And that's not going to shred my poor AR25?!? 


If not... then I can't bleeding wait!

There is a chance there'll be a clatter and you'll leave the TC behind on the road

Nah it will be fine as long as you don't sit on the brakes for an excessive period.....key thing this does is it gets the brake band for first engaged and fills the torque converter with oil at pressure, saves close on a 0.5-1 second typically

I seem to recall on the Omega the stall speed is circa 4K.....but its been a while.

Ah, you've gone and done it now, I can see this testing going on for another week now, with the ending threads being something like 'how easy is to replace my broken gearbox with an AR35'

Mark. No I didn't do the TC stall approach. nice to know I could shed even more time. I think the stall speed is 2.5k rpm isn't it(don't quote me on that)

Would this approach not produce wheel spin?

On a 2.5 doubtfull unless you are on autogrips

I presume autogrips are a 'dubious' make of tyre? 

and out of interest do you think the drivers who did the 0-60 test for the car at thefactory would have done it like that? I presume so as the people who do these tests are ''professionals''.

Lol,a milk float would drift on autogrips and yes they would have done the stall approach as do all the magazine testers.

Cheers henry.

Which is basically how the launch control works on my other car, except I get a bazzy light flashing on the dash to let me know it's ready to go.    Heel and Toe works rather well apparently. 
The handbook says 'Overuse of this function can stress the transmission parts'. No shit Sherlock.

In which case I definitely want to have a Leaf/Omega head to head.  Some Leaf owners are reporting 0-60 times of 9.4 and less
