The wheel spin is then taken care of by traction control.Easy enough to test, but if it's an FG then it will have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunna Donating Members 813 Member For: 18y 1m 6d Posted 25/08/12 12:45 AM Share Posted 25/08/12 12:45 AM It's not launch control, and the autos do have it-put an auto in neutral and it won't rev past 3500. Not really useful though.Apparently the new R Specs actually have launch control, but I haven't tried it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
