All good info guys...keep it coming.

I did the little trick of the neutral thing and it works, as in I can feel the brake depress more, but the launch, as someone else mentioned accurately was still nothing to write hoome about...but every little bit helps.

For those that ask the obvious, unfortuantely the two companies that reflash, AAM and Technosquare have NO ANSWER for any of this...neither one can actually explain the bog as good as some of the guys in this thread. ;-)

We're trying to convince the guys at Cobb tuning to develop code to turn off this nanny when they come out with their Accessport programmer later this year. They are aware of what we're talking about.

Of course MardiGrasmax beats me to asking him. They seem to be aware and looking into it. Smokey burnouts here we come! hehehe

As for VTC limitations, we'd only be limited by the physical hardware and internal clearances. We can remove any programmed limitations in the ECU.

Torque management for the Autos is something we'll look into. Our initial focus will be engine tuning moving of course then to the additional aspects as we continue to evolve the product.

We'll continue to make updates at cobbforums.com if any has any specific questions or suggestions.

Cheers,

I tried a few hard launches for the first time tonight using the break torquing method above. I felt the bog thing big time, where does the torque go, what a shame.

Make sure you're not holding the brake and gas done for no more than 1 second or else the bog will be pretty bad. The funny thing about this car (and most RWD cars) is that decent 60 foots feel damn slow. My G's low to mid 2.1 60 foots feel extremely slow. My Maxima felt far faster off the line, but when I look at the slips, my Max was lucky to pull 2.1s consistently.

You mean like all those pro dragsters?

Seriously, if you have something great to add, than add it. If you don't think this information will help, simply ignore it. Too many decent threads get screwed up with this type of drivel. And the moderators never seem to see fit to trim the crap out. So the only alternative is not to put it there in the 1st place. Thanks

So what do I get if I prove you wrong when I go to the track in a couple weeks

I'm not too concerned seeing that I typically pull quicker 60 foots than most 6MTs on street tires.
