I recently got over my brake-in mileage and used launch control for the first time. All I can say is WOW and OMFG! But, aside from being a lot of fun and something to impress passengers with, does anyone actually use it for a particular purpose? For example, people who take their cars to the drag strip? I can't see it being used for anything else except maybe smoking people at a stop light—if you're into that sort of thing.

If you're after practical features, might I interest you in a sedan? 😋

This was shared in another thread but here are every day uses for launch control

I said "particular" not "practical". You're right in terms of my TTRS purchase not falling into the "practical" category.

So what rpm do you have to hold at before relasing the brake

You push the accelerator hard to the floor (past its detent) and wait a few seconds while the rev's auto-settle. Launch mode knows.

Brake very hard to the floor as well.

Just read in the r8 forum that their is a launch counter. And launches are limited to 200 at which point you will no longer be able to launch to protect the transmission.

i believe if you get a tune, that can be bypassed .. ive seen S4's and other audi DSG cars with way over 200 launches lol
