Launch Control after 1000 mile brake in

I'm only at 800 miles and so ithcing to feel what this will do with this new launch control. Not sure if what my dealer said is acturate. They claim I must bring the car back in to service and do a rear end flush with new oil and then they will flash the ecu or do something to allow launch control. I've watched a video of one of the reps do a launch control with a GLC c63s captured by the salesman iphone. Its looks impressive, you have to hold the two paddles but you can adjust the rpm with the right paddle. This is seriously interesting me. BTW best 0-60 i've done with my RS7 is a 2.60 with standard stock tires, now I know this wont acheive as good as times but I'm surely willing to start modding to get super low 3's at least :-)

whoa. your RS7 did 2.6 without sticky radials? isn't that somewhere around P100D Tesla numbers? What did it run in the 1/4 mile? Have you tried launching the GLC the old school way? I mean, it is AWD.

I am probably going to run Nitto NT555R tires when I get mine.

Hehe assuming you haven't seen to many modded Audi Rs7's before Sure they are pretty much standard tuned numbers, I run 10.7 at 128 with some high heat temps in FL, should hit 130's with the new mods and colder times mind you thats on 93 octane. Nah didn't want to do any runs with the GLC until launch control yet. Don't really need any special tires for awd and how heavy these cars are.

Whoa. I looked at the RS7 but with zero experience withg Audi and absolute hatred for every jetta I have driven, I just never looked deep.

Granted AWD usually has no traction issues, I still find my heavy jeep making my crappy yokohamas squeal on quick acceleration.
