RE: Proper way of flooring a Automatic?
I sometimes wish I could change the ratios, especially 2nd and 3rd -- I have way too big of a gap between those.
The 0-60 time is a tad faster in D. The trans shifts effortlessly at redline. In tip mode I've found that at over 5600 rpm + WOT the trans is reluctant to shift when I tell it. I gotta ease off the gas for it to "catch" the next gear, so theres that break in acceleration like a manual. Apart from the annoying "kickdown" the tip trans is good fun, its nice to shift gears when driving hard, then leaving it in D when in stop and go traffic.

RE: Proper way of flooring a Automatic?
I never use my tip unless I want to play a little bit. The D performs much better and is way better off the line. I can't stand the way Audi has the tip set up off the line. Totally useless. Why would it shift out of first automatically in tip? It ruins the whole point of having it.

I've noticed when I just punch on the gas HARDfrom, sitting like a duck to 60, it tends to go slower.. But when Igradually step onthe gas, then punch it, it seems to be a lot faster.

haha, thats because if your pushing the pedal all the way down from 1k RPMS, your giving it way to much fuel and its point less, you wanna ease half way on the gas into the 3k range then punch it, and shift at high rpm's so you never fall back below 3k, therfore allowing you to punch it after every shift.

And what do you mean after every shift? I'm talking about in "D", not Tip.

So if I want a good 0-60, ease into the gas till it hits 3k RPM, then punch it?

Don't get me wrong, I regret not getting a manual, my last car was a 5spd and I loved it. But the price on my tip was too good to pass up. Don't look down on people just because they have tip, good lord...

Step 1. Move to SoCal.
Step 2. Drive on the 405, 5, 22, 91, or 55 freeway at 8-10am / 11:30-1:00pm / 4:00-6:30pm.
Step 3. Return to Audiforums and apologize for stupid remark.
