I personaly have never had a problem launching... When i go, it lags for a split sec, then takes off.. I can certainly take a kia off the line LOL. But I probably only do that once or twice a week... There's really no need to be racing and launching in an automatic all the time. I usually drive pretty conservatively unless i feel like im about to get into a race. I swear im about to sell my nissan and get another 1.8t 5spd!!! I NEED IT. SO DO YOU!

It does, but im thinking my split second lag is coming more from DBW than the auto tranny.... Even YOU have to deal with that one socal... Im not saying an auto is better than a 5spd though for racing.. It just i have my chipped 1.8t to back me up where my tranny "lags" when it comes to beating 5spd. 2.8's. HAahah

RE: Tip launching hard
i agree with auDi18tq.there are 2 different driving modes on these cars,regular driving where this car is the biggest dog on earth or racing when its fast as hell.y'know there you are taking off from a light just normal,and the kia next to you just takes off,not racing either,so you step on it,it drops to first at 4200rpm,ya make a scene and its like gee,i'm racing a kia.
