I have an A5T so I can't help you much but I would drive around any water and launch at 2500rpm's.

I don't have VDC either but I would turn it off.

I do have TC though and it turns off with the touch of a button. You want that off too!

Hope this helps!

I think VDC overides TC I don't see why you would need both but in my Touring there is a blank spot where VDC was supposed to be right next to TC. I laways thought VDC was an option and TC was standard.

I'm using the VDC spot for a N20 switch. Not sure why it would even be there if both were an option.

Are you sure you have TC?

I guess someone else will have to chime in and help.

TC and VDC are the same thing essentially, no separate way to turn one off and not the other

Why do you think your traction control isn't turning off? VDC is just a more involved version of traction control. They both go off with the same switch.

WEll,.one night...I never really had a chance to Launch my z--as you see I have 19's and Toyo's(6mt)but using what I heard(Drop @ 3k)---MAN IT worked awesome--I mean no wheel spin @ all(maybe a tiny little squeak)?--I was GONE!!!!Didn't even bog--my friends said I was GONE!didn't even catch 2nd barley either--normally thats simple!

That was the Best 1st ever lauch in a RWD car I've ever done!

I would be willing to try from a lauch w/ the Big daddy's(meaning "Lauch king's if done right)--like my Friend;s EVO's(as long as they all go that smoothly)

EVO is sick though---don't drive one--you'll want it!

practice makes perfect they say, just remember that launching at the track is always harder than launching on the street.

If I could launch at the track like I launch on the street I would already have a 1.7 60 foot! LOL.

Good Luck and keep us posted!
