60ft in 1.5 sec is around 3.5 G according to one of my customers, not sure if his maths are right!! Did end up with a bruised back once from not sitting correctly in the seat.

I'll probably never know.  :-\  As an older gentleman with a reformed driving style I'm more at risk of clogging up my dpf through slowness than using launch control.  ;D
I smell the rear end of a male cow....

 ;D ;D

The new ‘me’ coincided with Mrs YZ taking early retirement, so she’s sat next to me on most of my journeys. It’s like having a built in speed restrictor.  ::)

…….
Is the CVT in the Audi capable of launching anything but itself  :-\

I’ve obviously misunderstood Dr G and I’m genuinely shocked. I thought that you spoke so highly of VAG products so I bought two Audi’s.  ;) ;D
Perhaps I wasn't entirely clear >:D

I am particularly impressed by how efficiently the body unzips across the back seat making it much easier to get out following a Naga outburst...

I have a couple of tricks up my sleeve.  If I want to drive, I drive faster the more she complains until she shuts up.  But normally, I simply ask her if she can do better, she's welcome to have a go.  That results in her accepting my driving style, or I get chaffeured :)
