Launch Control GT

[Stinger Boy]

I’ve had my car for a month now and haven’t been game to use launch control yet.

Tell me does it really make that much of a difference like turning on the nitrous oxide valve? LOL

Will the G- Force make me soil my undies?

And will the cops catch me?

I can not seem to work out if I have launch control in mine, its the 2.2 crdi. I have tried it, but get to scared to push the pedal too hard with the brake pushed as the car wants to go and starts getting flustered...

From all the vids I have watched, yes it does make a difference.

I don’t know about models and options overseas.

In Australia launch control I think is only available on GT 3.3 litre twin turbo model.

In America for example you can get remote engine start by not in Australia.

If you do have launch control feature it should show up in heads up display and you have a window of 4 seconds to operate.

It's a lot of fun. You really get pushed into the back of your seat.

I still get pushed back in my seat without having used launch control when I put my foot down from a standing start.

My first test drive with the sales person - We drive 2km to a clear stretch of road and pulled over. He said "you drive and we'll try launch control"...Awesome!!! I've only used mine 10 or so times in the 2300km I've driven so far, even used it to blow off a boy racer at the lights...no contest by the way...lol. As @Dragonzsled says...

Does launch control put extra strain on the tranny, braker or tires?

Tyres yes, brakes no as if you hold it to long it will cancel the launch control.

As for the crossdresser, I don't know..

And transmission yes, too. It will not function when transmission gets too hot (e.g., from repeated launch control starts).
