Did you do the no lift shift for gear changes? There is another thread that somebody figured out you don't have to lift when shifting. Foot to the floor throttle wise and depress clutch for gear changes and just stay on the gas. Curious if you did this in your video. Beautiful car BTW.

NO I didn't do the no lift on the changes. Didn't know about it when I made the video. I go to the racetrack tomorrow and could do a no lift shift launch control but really this is an unappreciative group of people on here that criticize everything.

I attempted to do launch control this weekend but it did not work. The engine was at proper temp, the clutch was fully depressed and the gas was fully depressed. I tried a few times. The RPM’s held at 5k but the “launch control active” never came on. I didn’t want to toast my clutch, so i didn’t try. Where does it say “launch control active” when doing it with a manual?

I think Porsche limits it at 5k even when free revving the engine. I just want to be safe before I try it. Can anyone confirm there is something that comes up on the dash saying launch control active?

Can anyone comment as to whether the 6MT cars have any dash signals indicating it is active when actually launching?
