Then again I could be completely off the mark on this one, in which case I'm impressed! Tool, I implore you to try just one run without all of your gadgets. Also, when is the rematch scheduled for?

If the car looses traction in 3rd gear launch control is pretty useless.
Launch control is only used to build boost at the line to have the power available instantly, but if the car doesn't hook up it's better to have the boost hit a few metres after the launch when the car is moving.

No offense, but I have watched 4 door civic passes that were more entertaining. Tool should of known his launch control would take atleast a second to be bouncing, and he should of been prepared for that.
It's really not that hard to know the basiscs of getting on the gas when a light turns green!

A video was posted a month ago showing ST accelerating away cleanly through 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears...no tire spin, what changed?
Has he changed tires recently? Who uses 40k street tires on a sports car with 600+ hp??

Here is my offcial lart's review of the video.
You can see Tms reacting to the light instantly but stool takes a least a second to launch, well I have obtain a copy of the cockpit recordings this is what was going on at the moment of the launch.
Tool, okay here we go, damn so this is how a 1/4 mile strip looks like, damn it's really short, (heavy breathing) okay Lutjen control your breathing count to 10 , 1,2 ,3,4,5,6....10, come on Lutjen you are special tool(talking to himself) your car has at least 150 more hp than that skinny judge Reinhold kid, damn I said skinny (heavy breathing againg) (talking to himself again) you are a dumb a$$ Jim you should of stay away from KFC fat a$$. Okay line up, hold the clutch down , step on the gas and go oh man it's easy, okay light is changing 1, 2 , fu%k why did it change so fast, Fu%k , Fu#k where is that Fu*&ng TMS going wait..... let go of the clutch dumb fat a$$(more heavy breathing, gears change sound) tool talking again f^ck I am going to have a heart attack, f^ck that skinny a$$ kid beat me F^ckkkkkk I lost.
