Launch Control
Hi everyone. I am planning on taking my GT-S to the drag strip tomorrow and was wondering if anyone had any tricks for using launch control. Is there a specific set of instructions to use when about to race? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to see how fast this thing is with the Weistec stage 2 tune, midpipes and downpipes.
