Launch Control...How often do you use it?

It makes me giggle!
No really...in the vast nothingness of my surroundings there a number of nice, nearly deserted two-lane highways just begging for a little LC love, and occasionally I oblige. Sometimes though, it does scare the crap out of my passenger, if I have one onboard.

Lol... My wife will take it but only once after talking her into it but with a bad look back. But for the record she dispenses every BMW with now her RS5. She is now spoiled forever with the hp thing. I dare show her the launch on the 5. It would be too close a race with the S if I did teach her. She has had many runs in the 8 though so I will get a "that's nice honey" and a pat on the knee with the Porsche (the R8GT is faster but much different experience that will be lost on her). Going to do a first try tomorrow... car is still in its first month with me... still excited after learning about the tap down with the gas pedal at speed for the downshift to just the right gear but matching your current speed prior to just flooring it. That alone makes me happy for awhile.

Same process - foot on brake and stomp the gas - it will hold the revs at 4.5 ish If I remember until you lose the brake.
Enjoy.

Is this correct, I didn't think you had to turn the nannies off? I've had it activate during a launch. Haven't tried it after manually turning it off - that would be wild

I'm pretty sure it's off. On my other cars you had to manually turn off TC before you could engage launch control.

P.s. Forgot to try launch control... Must remember tomorrow....
