Launch Control-How many times?
#2
Proof that the 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S is unbreakable - YouTube
He launches it 50 times non-stop. And the turbo has WAY more torque than our cars. Nice to know a few launches here or there won't break anything!

I read somewhere that they tested the system with 500 consecutive launches for the GT3
Edit: Yessss, found it!
"Porsche has tested over 1000 full-throttle launch control starts in a row without failure. They’ve actually gone well beyond this point"

I noticed there is no sport plus mode on the Gt3, at least I did not see a button for it on center console. So am I right to believe that there are just two dribing modes, non-sport and sport? I realize there are two other buttons to turn nannies off, but I mean just two driving modes with the nannies on?

There are two driving modes. The default mode on the GT3 is similar to the sport mode on my old 997.2. The PDK Sport mode is similar to Sport +. There is no super economy base mode on the GT3. Although in default auto it shifts quite early, it's more responsive and will downshift more quickly in response to throttle input than the 997.2 did in default mode.
Glad there is no pure economy mode, it was a waste, i never liked it or used it in my 991S, except may be when I wasn't feeling well or something.
So in sport (when left in automatic) pdk upshifts at 9000?
So in non-sport mode pdk upshifts when? My guess somewhere 4500-6000 rpm.

So I take it there is also thankfully no stop/start feature?

In PDK sport with very mild throttle it will shift around 4K+. It's very throttle dependent. If you're on the gas in PDK sport it won't shift until redline.
In non-sport it shifts very early if you are gentle with the throttle. Again, it's throttle dependent. The difference between the default mode in the GT3 and default mode in a regular 997 (and I assume 991) is that the GT3 will downshift more quickly in response to throttle input and will hold gears longer if you're on the gas.
The best way to drive the car in anything but full throttle track situations, is to put it in manual mode and pick your own shift points.
