hey guys. i was wondering if it would be bad for a car if i were to hold down the brake and gas at the same time , sorta like to launch the car by releasing the brake.
i noticed that i can go 0-60 in 10.2 seconds if i just step on the gas alone, but if i hold down the brake and rev the engine to about 2k(thats highest i can keep it before it starts moving) and release the brake i can hit 60 in 9.4. i was just wondering if i am hurting my car. i really dont do this that much and i dont try to race or speed anyways. thanks guys |

not an expert and not trying to be one, but i do know that it will cause your torque convertor to heat up very quickly, and if you do this repeatedly as others have said, bye bye torque convertor. So try to stay on the low down witht hat move , unless you dont like ur drivetrain.
