Well, neighborhood stop sign has awesome black marks now!

So was trying to use Race Mode (aka Launch control), but forgot to pull the paddle to confirm before I held the brake down and floored it, have the limited slip, so just a really nice straight launch with a lot of tire smoke and like 40 feet of black marks - not what I was going for, but was still pretty fun - was wondering why it was not hooking up for a few seconds until I realized what was going on!

Ya it is funny you are thinking why am I not moving much and why is the car no grabbing traction and then it all starts to make sense.

Never understood why they have to make is so hard to turn on launch control - my S4 was actually even harder than the C63 and had a limit of 200 launches and then no more ever for the life of the car (guess they did not have a lot of faith in the driveline, although Nissan had less faith in the early GTR where using launch control would void your warranty!)
