This is all in the owners manual.

If you try it, keep in mind your accelerator must be floored and activating the kick-down detent button under the pedal. If you have done everything correctly then "Launch Control Active" illuminates in the gauge display as the engine sings its intoxicating song of joy.
Then sidestep the brake and revel in the pleasures of engineering excellence!

Seeing as how everything is a preprogramed computerized system, is it possible that the car adjusts power to prevent any slip instead of simply adjusting how fast the clutch lets out?

If engine is almost at redline - unlikely you can do much to adjust anything - you just hit your tranny with 300+ horses directly one way or another.

The article in the car magazine was wrong when they said to turn PSM off.
Sport Plus+Left foot brake+Right foot accel flat to floor+Release brake= voila' Launch Control

I would be interested in reading more about this if anybody has more info. I don't have a PDK car, I don't drag race, just curious about mechanical\electronic stuff..
