Auto launch blows!
So today was the maiden voyage of my auto frs in autocross. With nannies with out nannies you can't put in the brake and rev higher then 2k. So no smoking the tires at the gate no matter how much you want to. Is this a mechanical limit? A computer limit? My auto tc I could rev as high as I wanted and launch. I was a little disappointed.

That blows. Can this be disabled? A fuse maybe. I can see this impacting left foot braking on the track and in autox.

Try pressing the brake first, before the accelerator.
From the Scion website: "The feature doesn't engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the accelerator pedal." |

hmm... not sure.. It does have this though... http://www.toyota.com/safety/star-sa...echnology.html
As an added measure of safety, Toyota created the braking system enhancement known as Smart Stop Technology. This advanced technology automatically reduces engine power when both pedals are pressed at the same time under certain conditions. Smart Stop Technology intervenes when the accelerator is depressed first (Figure 1) and the brakes are applied firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles per hour. (Figure 2) In normal driving conditions, you won’t notice Smart Stop Technology as it is imperceptible. The feature doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the accelerator pedal. This allows for vehicles starting on a steep hill to safely accelerate without rolling backward (known as hill start). Toyota has installed Smart Stop Technology in all its new models since the beginning of 2011, making it one of the first full-line manufacturers to offer this braking technology as standard equipment. Not sure if this does anything when the Trac and VSC is both off. |

I autocrossed my auto tc for years and was able to launch it just fine from a start. I picked paddle shift because time and time again I see people missing shifts on turn arounds and sections where they were not quick enough or the car was fighting them. This is not a mt vs at debate. I'm just trying to figure out if I'm fighting something in the programming or mechanically.
