Just getting used to having a automatic again, what do you suggest is the best way to launch it?​

Thanks​

Left foot on brake...
Right foot on throttle
Rpms at about 1800
Left foot off brake
Right foot on throttle to the floor

Lmaooo I know what this means all too well. OP, find three safe spots (minutes apart for cool down) and try launching in all three modes. Sport mode + TCS+SC, Sport mode + SC off (one press), and Sport mode + Everything off (press and hold 3 seconds). See which you like most, mine is the middle, right amount of slip and giddy up.

I find starting in 2nd gear seems to be a bit better

This car has the most unusual launch methods ever.

Brake boosting and 2nd gear launch.

Never tried the 2nd gear launch, I need to give this ago.

2nd gear launch works good for me. I’ve seen others that run just as quick leaving in 1st. I’ve cut 1.6 60ft on street tires launching 2nd gear

So you guys obviously use the flappy paddles for launch

ive done paddle shift and also popping it into drive right after the launch and let the trans do its thing.

Speaking to the guys racing their Supra at TX2K, they all launch from 2nd gear.

Brake boosting in 2nd allows you to build boost. You can actually get the RPM up to almost 3k and still hold on the foot brake without creeping the car forward.
