PAH Donating Members 361 Member For: 16y 16d Gender: Male Posted 07/03/16 04:13 AM Share Posted 07/03/16 04:13 AM Guys Reading up on the new XR6T Sprint, the article seemed to say that the Sprint has been fitted with launch control for the FIRST TIME. I've always thought that my 2008 FG XR6T had launch control. Am I sadly mistaken? PAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sprint has a proper launch control that monitors and adjusts torque etc to limit wheelspin and maximise forward momentum during launch.

Is it computer controlled or does it involve modification to components? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it actually build boost though or just hold the revs? Usually need load on the engine to build boost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually need load on the engine to build boost? Sorry, you're correct. It just held the revs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
