dynamic mode launch control
#22
yes
that is exactly my question without launch control what is the best approach to zero-60 with minimal wheel spin. I am thinking the snowflake mode may work. If you get an answer please let me know. Thank you

Thanks. Your response was super helpful. I was out on some country roads today and that's what I ended up doing: light on gas until I felt traction and then I nailed it. Your comment is confirmation that I have been looking for. I have an autocross day Sunday and what you say will pay off. Thanks again.
I am not used to such a powerful car. My other car is a Lotus Elise and I know exactly what it is going to do in most circumstances. I'm just discovering what this F type R will do. I was glad to discover today that even with tire spin the car does not swerve (on dry road).
Thanks again.

I've also done a lot of autocross in both a Lotus Elise and a C6 Z06. I'm used to manual shifting as well, but I suspect the F-Type might be quicker in dynamic and automatic. The ZF auto is very good at picking the right gear based upon rpm. If it were me, I'd do a lot of experimenting both ways.
For straightline acceleration, and on most road courses, I think the car would end up being quicker in automatic, but in all cases put it dynamic mode.

Sounds right to me. I suspect I won't get out of 2nd gear. If I have enough chances, I'll try both automatic and shifting. With automatic I'll be able to focus on steering a bit more. I'm just not used to trusting automatic; this will be a learning experience. Thanks for your comments.

Sport + Dynamic seems to be the highest amount of performance. S also raises the shift points a bit higher than just Dynamic. You actually might not shift at all on the entire AutoX course. It's highly probable that you'll always be in second.

I don't think any of the V8 cars have launch control. They have plenty of power to spin the rear tires without raising the stall speed on the torque converter. I believe that was a feature on the AT V6 cars only.

no launch in V8 cars, too much torque ... I know there are cars with this much torque and launch but they usually have AWD with even 50/50 distribution and a dual clutch and not an auto. To have launch in the V8 they would need a different transmission for sure or your transmission and clutch would stay behind at the starting line ....
