Thread: SDV6 Lag on take-off

I reckon mine takes off fastest if you just slam the pedal to the floor as hard and fast as possible. On occasion this has resulted in mild wheel spin (rear) when roaring off around a corner or across an intersection (weight transfer) but the dsc does not intervene much as it seems to get what's going on.

In sydney traffic, sport mode does improve the kick down response slightly but not enough to drive in sport because I don't like how it holds gears to higher rpm unnecessarily at times in sport.

Ps: I have less torques and more ponies which = different driving experience.

With the SDV6 you can be on the limits of traction on bitumen without flooring it! The only time I really floor it is on steep hills or overtaking.

That's your monster torques talking there, eh Bob

There's always Sand mode, makes the throttle more responsive. For a quick departure EPB on, DCS off, Sand mode, hover right foot over fast pedal then hit it!

Yeah, the monster torques are great for towing, off road and getting into traffic. Who needs monster horses?

I like the aural delight and simplicity of ponies !

Upon reflection, the torques get you to about 140 when overtaking, even with a caravan. However, the ponies need to gallop above that.

Re the original topic, I imagine that there would be quite a lag if the auto stop start feature was active. Watching cars at traffic lights, those that shut down require significant time to restart and get going.

As they say, ponies is how much trouble you get in, torques is how fast you get to the trouble zone !!

Stop - start : what's with that rubbish idea, if we were that concerned about saving fuel we'd be driving Nissan leafs ! It's not like a 3T 4wd with the aerodynamics of a building is going to benefit much or at all from that kind of additional complexity ! Oh well.
