I know, I'm missing launch control after having it in my CLA45. It really makes a difference getting out of the hole.

LC would be so awesome!

The few times I've given her the full enchilada out of the hole, I've just power-braked it. You really gotta mash the brake pedal down though because even with these amazing brakes, the tq of this motor wants to overpower them.

Not the same as LC obviously, but it really makes a difference compared to a normal "launch".

Specially a stage 2 car! How does it feel compared to a stock one?

It's amazing! I haven't run it against anything on the street to get a real comparison, but it really woke this car up.

Stock, this car is fast, but ya know how it just feels kinda too smooth and un-eventful? Now mashing the throttle is an event, now it's proper fast. Plus the DP's increased the noise by A LOT so I'm sure that gives the butt dyno a bit of a bias


No joke, it's honestly hard to not speed and drive like a ******** now

meh.

I don't need launch control on my daily. I would use it maybe 5 times over the course of ownership?

Like other have said just brake and rev into boost and release - should get you 70% of the way.

Don't get me wrong , from the hole we are going to jump ahead against of spinning rear drive car but its a lag in the initial throttle response no matter how good you do the brake launch
