Which is better, flooring the gas pedal (I mean straight to the metal) or progressively pressing it all the way down..?

I'm talking about straight line acceleration and say from about 2500-3000rpm on, in 3rd or higher.

Is there any difference, and what method do you use..?

Stupid question I know, but it's one of them things you think of on long journeys when you have exhausted all reasonable avenues of thought in an attempt to stay awake..!

 

Progressive every time.
Tend to bog down with full throttle i've found

 

always full throttle. if ur car bogs down it isnt set u correctly. and if u mean bog down u might be talking about lag!

 

No so much 'bog down', just pick up doesn't seem as quick as a steady press of the gogo pedal.

More at lower revs than mentioned above to be honest, didn't read the post properly.

 

Has to be fully open surely. More airflow, more fuel, bigger bang, faster turbo spool up etc. etc.

 

i know what u mean but if you push ur foot down and count 1 2 3 seconds then it picks up nice. then if you put ur foot to the flor then count 1 2 3 i think ul find it picks up the same way at the same time

 

some cars react differently but if it is running correct with no timing or pinking issudes then foot down and the ecu will do the rest.

 

pedal to the metal

well thats how mine likes it, gets that turbo spooling quicker.

 

Progressive.

 

hes talking about 3rd gear +!!!

 

Can you expand on this Bob, is this something that you've found helps on the strip..?

 

progressive too....

 

IMO Flooring it seems to have a strangling effect. I always accelerate progressively, on and off the strip.

Just get in the car and try it man!

 

pmsl! i dont care how much horse power u run or strip or not. u always floor it. u try racing quick then saying to ur self to progressivly push the throttle! doesnt happen especially in 3rd gear when ur flat out anyway
