Is this true? havent tried it in mine.........thought someone already had! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apying some light breaking won't cause it to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to Calder a fair few times and have never had any problems smoking the rears in the burnout, anti lag has never kicked in on me.your tailshaft and CV's will be fine as long as you can limit the axle tramp! trust me this sounds easier than it is, without better springs and shocks to keep the rear rubber on the ground then the axle tramp is sure to kill anything from your CV's, Diff, Tailshaft and all components inbetween.I dont see a line lock kick to be any problems Hrmm just read it was a ute, considering you have a solid rear dont worry about CV's Edited 10/03/11 09:55 PM by Rusty XR6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty XR6T Donating Members 516 Member For: 14y 9m 11d Gender: Male Posted 10/03/11 11:45 PM Share Posted 10/03/11 11:45 PM It's nothing like antilag Rusty.hrmm pretty sure the launch control in the FG is to simply let the turbo build up boost, which I always thought was antilag.But please correct me if im wrong, or perhaps provide an explanation When you try and use it and dump the clutch you fry the rear tyres, if it were actual launch control it should control the use of power to the rear wheels to allow maximum acceleration without breaking traction.Ford relate to it as Launch Assist anyway as in the picture below and its only available in the turbo vehicles... why? I presume to allow the turbo to build boost.*pic stolen from this thread - Manual FG Launch ControlAnyway back on track, launch control or assist comes from the clutch so you should be sweet mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
