    Why can't you launch? I never tried a hard launch in my test drives.

    You mean muscle car triplets. Challenger sales are higher than ever.

    The paddles dont have a neutral, I cant really rev it up and dump the clutch, if you will.

    I gotta admit that I drove the auto 86 while in Sydney and really didn't get along with it.

    Interesting...I don't remember how it works from my drive, is there no way to go from neutral/park to drive in an instant? What if you hold the car in place with brakes and keep the revs up, it just feeds it in rather than trying to spin the tires?

    You could theoretically go from Neutral to Drive, but I imagine that would be a little rough on the transmission as it's not meant to do that. Further, I'd be going into Drive, it's another move of the stick to the left to get it into Manual, and then being ready to bump the shift to get into 2nd. All of that while trying to get going is just a mess waiting to happen.

    And from my understanding you can hold the brakes and rev the engine in 1st gear but it'll start to break the rear wheels loose at only like 2500rpm, so not really much use there either.

    Crazy idea: put it in second while holding on brakes, release and downshift at same time.

    Can't put it in second while stopped, unless in Snow mode, which is kind of the opposite mode I want to be in.

    You're just boned then. Seems like an odd oversight.
