Default PDK Launch Control (video)

I took the car out for a small drive to get coffee since i haven't driven it for over a week...

At some point i decided to try the famous PDK Launch Control for the first time...

I have to say that i was very impressed! No drama, no nothing... The car simply launches and provides the maximum available acceleration... No human can do that with such consistency!

Although it was 33-34 degrees and the road dusted because of the snow of the previous days, it just hooked and launched forward! From my drag racing experience it seems that on a good day and decent pavement the car could do a sub-12.5 sec time... In March in will take to Etown just to confirm my feeling...

Well done Porsche!!!

I was looking for red flashing lights in your rear view mirror.

Nicely done.

The computer did an outstanding job.
Were you performing this experiment from the shoulder on a highway?
