Isn't that what a torque convertor is for?

Well, on second thought, maybe it could benefit from this type of "launch control" -

It's only "needed" for setting 0-60 times and other boy racer activities, but it would be nice to have. You can approximate it with brake/rev action but it's not 100% as it's a very small sweet spot before the car tries to outthink you.
I've often wondered, given the AT will do 0-60 in second rather than 3rd like the MT, how much closer it would be with launch control. As I recall, although I couldn't find it, the rolling start 05-60 tests of both AT and MT were very close around 7.7 seconds.

I would imagine if the auto had launch control it would be a little faster to 60 than the MT.
The twins with a DSG type transmission would be fun. Volkswagen can put one in the GTI (and has for over 14 years) T/S should be able to in the twins. It’s not that exotic any more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hey folks, please excuse my ignorance but does an AT spin the wheels if launched hard? If not then what is the point of launch control?
