Visceral, I feel like a whip but that definitely got me, felt weird for a few days! Never pulled that kind of "Gs".

Karl911, this definitely makes me think I could not handle that!

Can't say I got light headed, but I drove a 997.2 Turbo and that thing was a rocket. My 991 GT3 feels about on par with it accelleration wise, but that first go with the Turbo was eye opening.

Note to self: check with agent on liability coverage in event of passenger injured by launch control.

I love launch control, probably one of the best party tricks of the Turbo.

I do it frequently. The more you do it, you will get accustomed to it. So fun.

The dizzyness is the blood leaving your head faster than it should be...

I suggest a pressure suit to combat that problem.

Yes, we noticed this on another thread; a number of people commented that he would need to be doing 1500 posts/day, then for some surprising reason, the entire thread was erased, which, a number of people thought that was a bit odd...

sorry to hijack this thread, but that is an amazing number of posts, lol

I love launch control, I had a nice vacant stretch of road not far from me where I used to go, but last time I noticed a car pulled over with police lights, I turned around and have not been back since

I would not be technically speeding by the posted limit but would probably get a reckless driving ticket, which is worse

So I need a new spot
