Launch Control -- used it ?

Ok so my car only has 56 miles on it because of this POS winter in Boston. But I was wondering how many have tried the launch control on their cars. I'm certainly not a red to red light racer, but would be interesting to try it at least a couple of times. Seeing it can do 0-60 in 2.6 sec or so, would be fun to try.


Yes I need to get my car broken in first for the first 2k miles.

No break-in required - go for it. Might be a good idea to wait for the roads to clear up.....

Agreed. Make sure the car and the tires are warmed up.

Lot's of use, it's great. Of course I have places I go where no one else is around when I use it, not in town.

Yeah definitely do it! We paid for the performance might as well "feel" it lol I did follow the engine break in procedure before I did any sort of high speed/rpm driving though.

Don't bother until the ground heats up. It won't work. In my experience, when the temps go below 60, the rubber just doesn't get hot enough to hold.

Come March/April - let it rip. It is AWESOME. My kids ask me to use it all the time.

Amazing. Aside from breakin will need some temps above 60 or so.

MT review of McLaren 650s has 0-60 at 3.0 and quarter in 10.7, but after that it's weight and 800 hp are overwhelming. Nice to know that our TTS's are so potent at sub 130 speeds
