I just wanted to know if the launch control on the new t manuals can be switched off? or even if it needs to be switched off to smoke up the rears? just wanna know so I can show off to all my mates who still reckon their vs Expensive Daewoo utes are the best cars around.

Yours will have launch control and theirs wont!You can kick their arse in a race from Point A to Point B!Yours isn't a Expensive Daewoo therefore is obviously a much better bit of kit!
