Launch Control
I decided it was time to play with the launch control last night. Great feature IMO! Holds it steady around 4k-4.5k, smoothly release the clutch and it goes. There is wheels spin, but it controls it so well, torque steer is virtually eliminated. It's pretty darn fun! If you haven't tried it, you need to!
For those who don't know how.
Press the traction control button twice, it will say competitive mode / launch control. Push in the clutch (in 1st gear), put the accelerator pedal to the floor, it will hold it around 4k-5k, smoothly and quickly release the clutch and enjoy!

Sorry to bump an old thread and ask a (probably) stupid question, but I figured this was better than starting a new thread...
I understand how launch control works in the 5MT, but what about in an auto?

So shift to neutral, rev and hold, shift to drive? This is probably coming off as incredibly stupid but I've never had a car with anything like this before so it's nothing I have any experience with, and I'd rather look like an idiot asking a question than look like an idiot exploding my car.
