How does Launch Control work. Pull back on the paddles, rev the engine and release? I've seen the info screen indicate when activated.

Press the throttle pedal

Wait for "launch control activated"

Release the brake and enjoy

Traction on or off?

Doesen't matter... Would leave it on if you want a quick start.

Read the manual.

God bless the engineers for simplicity here. Some companies make launch control a missile launch sequence, and hence unusable (probably by design)

True, it doesn't matter, especially since the launch control program itself manages wheel slip on it's own. Also, it's not necessary to select PDK Sport mode first:

1. Press and hold the brake
2. Quickly press accelerator fully
(engine speed will level off at 6500 RPM)
(Launch Control Activated will display in the OB computer)
3. Release the brake

BTW, my understanding is you can pull the paddles for neutral, rev and release but it's not launch control per se, just a burnout!

Has anyone tried Launch control?
What about paddle neutral & taking off?
I know the latter sounds like you're abusing the transmission....but I'm curious of opinions.

pull the both the paddles for neutral and rev fully ?
release what ? not clear how does it works

I'm interested in this. Any RPM limit set for this "burnout mode"? Can you put the gearbox into neutral by pulling both paddles while driving and rev to 9K?

Porsche launch controls are bulletproofs. Last year at the Cayman 981 launch, we did over 150 launchs with the same car in the same day. It's just a normal thing, not like bmw M division: They ask you to limit your launch below 10 a month or transmission might break.

yes

On the paddle neutral pull is it just on off like a switch or can you modulate it like a clutch pedal. I'm wondering if you can use it as a way to move lowly into a parking spot at low speed.

Off-topic, but this is not true. Also, some people did 30+ launches with 600+ HP on the same day without breaking anything on e92 M3.

Still, neither 991 nor M3 are cars for launches - if that's your thing, there are much better options.
