At what mileage did you do the first launch control?

I've never used it in any of my cars.

I thought it was much more dramatic in GT3 (felt like being shot from a canon. 991.2 Turbo felt like being on the end of a taut bungee cord that was released).

1200 miles. Tried it twice, both with PSM on. We were getting low tire pressure warning because we had dropped the pressures so much during a hot session and the launch control did not work. It just bogged. Per the manual/owners it should work regardless of PSM setting so I put the TPMS into track mode and the launch control worked the second time.

Turbo and Turbo S would rattle eye ***** recording accelerations at 1.29 and 1.30 max Gs .
My GT3 has only showed a 1.1 max G, which is no slouch but still significantly less.
Still prefer the GT3....

Respectfully disagree, the max G meter tells the tale and supports my butt-meter.

If not, try it on warm day...

If anything, conditions for the numbers quoted were better with the GT3 launches than with either Turbos, plus turbos were on the stock Pirelli P Zero tires.
The GT3 definitely has more of a raucous aggressive feel, but ultimately not as violent a launch- IMO

Launched the manual GT3 at least 40 times in 5 or 6 autox days since about 600 miles. Car did bog a little, even w/ ESP off (TC eas left on). On the other hand my Carrera T with PDF launches just as hard and doesn't bog. Will try on the RS once I put a few hundred mils on the car.
