Been using it a few times this week. It's much more aggressive that way. Still getting used to it.....

OK I've been toying around w/ the competitive mode and driving in I around town. Now as far as the launch control, I've found that I'll spin the tires WITH the launch control; on vs the traction control on? Is there a certain procedure to launching (i.e. for drag racing applications) that should be followed??? If I sit there and try to 'powerbrake' to get the turbo to spool, it'll rev to about 3500rpm's then I'll go. It seems the car launches much harder and spins the tires less w/ the traction control ON versus OFF w/ launch control... am I doing something incorrect? NOTE: I've only tried this twice.

Later

What is the downside of leaving competitive mode on? What is the best way to "launch". I am ignorant to drag racing...I merely love to drive. Any feedback would be welcomed.
