VZ SV6 Calais Alloytech 190 Take Off

[KrisHolden]

Hey guys!

Anyone who drives a auto with active-select V6 190 or similar, from still, what pedal activity do you think provides the fastest rate of acceleration?

Sometimes I get the feeling pedal down 75% then ease to 100% and other times I still think pedal right down?

Would I be much better off using active select and changing gears on the redline?

Just stall her up, and plant it

@2:02 for you to get some respek.

yea the auto will do its thing and change at the best point when u just floor it in drive. i take my car to the track and usually stall up to about 2000-2500rpm, or where ever the car starts to want to spin the wheels, then plant it, and like a few miliseconds release the foot off the brake.

Cool, thanks. Ill keep that in mind when I too head up to a track or wanna sprint it from the lights ... cheers!

keep in mind, if you do stall up to 2000rpm, u will loose traction, but only like a squeel, u wont sit there spinning lol

thanks mate!
So you think the auto would usually be better than using active select? I know the 5sp g\b is pretty clever after doing some testing.

yea for sure, i think the only way active select would be better is if you timed your changes to be at around 6800rpm, as the auto shifts at 6500rpm, but i wouldnt keep going that high all the time as the limiter is set at 6500rpm. and take off traction control, i know it doesnt make much of a difference with the sv6 whether its on or not, but it keeps my mind free knowing that if i do loose traction, it wont bog down due to traction control setting in

Thanks heaps for letting me know all that. I seriously think the auto takes off pretty good especially as it climbs through the gears.

Cheers!
