Stinger community Thank you but I have a lot of questions

[Mp GT2]

How do you activate your launch control also what grade gas does the car take.

I don't have the manual handy at work but if I remember correctly:

1. Turn off the ESC by holding down the button 3 seconds.
2. Foot on brake.
3. Gas pedal to the floor.
4. Foot off the brake within 4 seconds of gas to the floor.
5. Surprise the crap out of the <thought they could eat a kia for lunch guy> next to you.

As far as gas, I am about to fill up today after work for the first time. I believe the regular 87 octane is fine but the HP and Torque numbers were with 93 Premium.

Anyone feel free to correct me as I am going off memory!

If you care about the overall quality and performance of your engine over time, do not launch control until after your break in period.

Ok what’s the break in period how long do they recommend

It’s in your manual! You know that thing you threw in a cupboard never to be looked at by man again!

It’s 600 miles.

Don’t floor it, don’t do short journeys, keep the RPM between 2000 and 4000, do not use cruise control, and don’t break hard.

Also no towing for 1200 miles.

It's going to be a long road ahead (no pun intended) if you don't at least skim your manual.

even without launch control the 0-60 is crazy fast, faster than 90% of the cars you will see, except a tesla S, however the tesla will have to wait 30 minutes before you can launch, with 30 min headstart, the tesla will never catch up to you.
