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.

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.

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.

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