Well i thought i had broken the car yesterday!
Sport mode on, late breaking up to a junction, in second gear, pressure on accelerator pedal to move off but noticed a car coming so quickly off the gas and it cut out :whistle:
I didnt realise you could stall an auto, but obviously you can :-D

I did stall my first CSL once, I was having fun in a wet car park, I did half a circle sideways in second gear, then hit a dry patch, lost the rear after 2 corrections, applied full-brakes and the engine stalled.. btw i was in S5, DSC-off.. :whistle:
P.S. on a similar note, did anyone manage to completely loose the back-end in TrackMode?
Strange never stalled mine! :-D

Similar to theodoros, I have stalled mine a fair few times, always when hooning about - usually as the car is moving backwards out of a spin that i failed to catch in time...! :smt096 :hahaha:
Saying that, i've never had it stall during normal driving? :smt009

It will usually cutout when you go into a spin, a failsafe as the car thinks its crashing.

WHAT? Thats sacrilege (Was never good at English) saying our car are Autos. Thats still a hanging offence in some countrys! :whistle:
I have many a bit of banter with mates who argue that the CSL is an Auto! "You don't have a clutch, it must be a an Auto!"
"No, I DO have a clutch, just not a clutch PEDAL!!!" and so on and so forth! Then we drink more, get drunk and fall over!
