Default Had some fun this evening.

I did 9 launch controls this evening and countless pulls and curves as well as a few quarter miles tonight. What fun.

I did a few 0 to 60 runs with the top down. It definitely slows you down to the low 3s.

I now have the Michelin tires instead of the pirelli. I know they are supposed to be better but I guess I am not good enough to tell..

Still getting a bit of wheel hop on take off. I had a full tank of gas(well at least when I started). Tires seem to never get warm. I think I could do better.

So much fun how these cars can do consecutive launch controls without issue.

What tire pressure in the rear? I leave it at 38 and it works better for me.

Why is 0-60 slower with the top down? Is your car stock?

I noticed something recently of which I wasn't previously aware. When doing a launch using launch control, the rpm at which the clutch is dropped is higher in sport+ mode than in sport mode. Around 4000 rpm in sport and over 6000 in sport+.
At least that's what it looked like in my limited testing.

If you press the Boogie Button it will be the same in Sport.

I've never used Launch Control even once, but I thought you had to be in Sport + for it to work at all?
