Factory Line Lock or Foot Brake

[DavidHuff]

Are you guys using the factory line lock or foot brake to heat up your drag radial tires at the drags?

I foot brake because with the fender plug out no line lock

Do you put your Trans in S Mode 1st gear and use your paddle shifter to shift into 2nd gear to do your burnout at the drag way or put your trans in drive and use the foot brake and let it rip?

Line lock always. Why do you want to drag your rear brakes if you don't need to?

I like the line lock.

Tried it both ways and I'm going back to line lock.

Shifter to S start in second and quickly click 3rd with paddles. Just remember to go back to D unless you plan on paddle shifting. Ask me how I know LOL. 50 or so feet out nose over on the rev limiter stuck in first HAHAHAHAHA. Did that once.

Because you can't use line lock with the abs and ALL traction control disabled via the fender plug. Even with t/c and advancetrac "off" the computer still changes it's shift and timing schedules if it sees even the slightest wheel spin. A quick third gear burnout is plenty, and you don't need to bury the pedal to the floor. It's not really that hard on the brakes.

Ahh, I didn't pick up on the fender plug thing. I have an M6. I can spin the tires til the cows come home with T/C and A/T turned off via the switch. I would agree it's not that hard on the brakes as I did it for quite awhile on my GTO until I installed a line lock on it. It's also a little easier than trying to foot brake with a clutch.
