Would love to see it, if anything to settle the true differential in 0-60 times btw the MT and PDK-S.

No, launch control is included. There’s no sport plus mode on the gt3, it’s always at max performance for the eng8ne mapping. You do get a PDK-sport button that changes the PDK shift maps (this is also standard).

Gentlemen,
I just ran into this video last night. Please fast forward to 4:03 !!! Only issue is that the video is in German (I don't comprehend), some of you may understand what he is trying to say.
If you guys remember watching his old videos, he did a great job reviewing the 991.1 GT3 (Getawayer).
Watch him dumping the clutch and fly away. Let me know what you guys think.

That wasn’t launch control. He was controlling the throttle himself. Thanks for the vid though.

That’s why I thought too, Revs were all over the place and there was clutch slippage.. didn’t seem like a digital process at all, nor very healthy for clutch life. I’m hoping we can see someone engage it in a video.. I’m not sure why but this is the most exciting thread to me at the moment as I was bizarrely disappointed to not have LC on my Manual, despite never seeing any real use for it.

That looked more like a burnout than launch control.

Thanks, no SC for me then. I don't want a plastic piece popping out on my touring even thought it's inexpensive at $550.

Did you find a safe location to launch yet?

I just did a manual launch control yesterday and had a friend film it. I'm waiting for him to edit it. Will share shortly. It was pretty simple for me. The rev limiter is lowered to 5,000rpms like the manual states.

Thank you for doing this. Can't wait for the vid.
