Vahid Report post Posted February 24, 2013 For the first time I used Launch Control instead of the usual Thrust Mode. Wasn't expecting this much drama... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBUGKING Report post Posted February 24, 2013 cool video, but isnt thrust mode the same thing as launch control? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahid Report post Posted February 24, 2013 cool video, but isnt thrust mode the same thing as launch control? Thrust Mode: Corsa Mode, ESC OFF, Left foot on the brake + Right foot on the gas pedal, release the brake pedal and the car will launch with the least amount of wheel spin and it will hook completley if your tires are in good shape. Reminder that no shifting is required. Launch Control: Sport Mode, ESC OFF, FLOOR IT! Result: New pants required + New alcantara sport seats! Again, no shifting is required. Car will shift as soon as wheel spin is done but you need to be very careful and control the car during the spin as it acts completely different from Thrust Mode!

Are these sequences also true for LP560s? I've always heard about the Corsa route, but never the Sports mode route. So during the "launch" sequence, no brakes in the beginning, you just WOT/floor it?

TRANSAMERA Report post Posted February 27, 2013 Vahid, isn't that the stretch of road where I drove it (not as violently) but still? Aaaaah, I remember when I launched my old SuperG for the first time back in 09, I had never felt so manly before, HUGE GRIN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
