I am better of lifting my foot of the cluch then stomping it, becuse if you try and do it like a car without laucnh contol, it will slip the clutch or make the car shake like a rodeo clown!

Fitzy1201 Member 51 Member For: 13y 5m 28d Gender: Male Location: Toowoomba Posted 21/06/11 12:10 PM Share Posted 21/06/11 12:10 PM I have tried using the launch control or "launch assist" feature and I got it working quite well the first second time but the first time I just smoked the tyres... but that was because I dumped the clutch. if you let out the clutch normally and put about 1/2 to 3/4 acceleration and kind of feather it you will get a good launch.... ANYWAYS from what I have heard about this feature is that it cuts 2 of the cylinders and spools the turbo for maximum boost and it actually gives an extra 3% (or something) more boost through the turbo. Once the clutch has been re-engaged then all the cylinders re-engage and you have a quick acceleration. OR you smoke your tyres haha... my two cents anyways.
