i plan to floor it off the lot at 10 miles... did it with past 4 new porsches... they always seem to burn less oil than average and never had any issues... drive it like you normally do, all the time... everything seats in fine!

I have a lease. Launched it out of the dealer's parking lot with 35 miles on it. I was told to by the sales guy. God love him.

I launched like 5 or 6 times today. It felt NICE. Makes me smile.

6,000 miles. PDK launched today for the first time, then did it again. Incredible. And the kick when upshifting to 2nd, and 3rd, was out of this world. May not launch again for a while, but it's really nice to know it's available....

yeah, go for it guys! thats what it is made for.. warranty wont vid unless you did something it's not designed to do. i.e. GTR and taking traction control off while launching.

I have a 997.2 and the only time its been launched was when the salesman took me on a test drive.

My salesman told me to wait until break-in. Salesman, go figure....

Launch control is just a marketing gimmick. Just putting the car in sport+ and flooring the accelerator has the same result.

My friend has launched more than 20 times and no problems. BUT it is not something you want to do often. Launching from a dead stop will certainly violate Murphy's law.

When i asked my salesman about LAUNCH he took me to LUNCH. I forgot he's Cajun.

I think about the computer manipulating that little clutch and can't bring myself to do it any more than I would have sidestepped the clutch at high RPM on any of the older Porsches I have owned. The car picks up speed so fast with a little roll on that I have been totally happy scaring myself that way.

IT is diferent than flooring it you are engaging the clutch on a prerevved engine, just flooring it requires building up the rpms vs "instant" on

This is my 2nd PDK and in the 997.2 I did a few times early and after that it really became a trick that I rarely used. At 1700 miles just did first 991 lauch yesterday after a trip to oak beach cars and coffee here on LI
