1. Car = 2005 300C 5.7
2. Tire pressure = normal
3. Performance mods = TrueFlow Foam Filter, Stage II Jetchip, Borla exhaust, Thermostat 170, Silenser modified for CAI.

The technique I have come up with that I believe works the best for my car is....

Pre Launch preperation:

1. Left foot on brake
2. Right foot waiting on the gas peddle
3. Turn A/C off
5. Put the car in 1st gear
6. Turn ESP On

Time for Launch:

1. Right finger waiting on the ESP button
2. Take left foot off the brake and press down on the gas
3. Turn ESP off (a split second after you press down on the gas)
4. Let the transmission shift

Interesting...Does the ESP function differently by doing this? I'm interested in the best launch procedure. My car reacts differently alot of time, its hard to get a consitant launch

The reason I turn ESP On after hitting the gas is to reduce tire spin. If I leave ESP off I will burn rubber and not get a very good launch. When I leave ESP On then hit the gas and turn it off a split second later I get a little tire spin and a very good launch. Since ESP is on when I step on the gas it won't peel out at the initial launch but since I am quickly turning it off I don't get any of the hesitations associated with ESP.

I have no real data to confirm how good this works but when I look in my rearview mirror after I use this technique I have been very happy with the results.

Give it a try and let me know what you think.
