new balance

Yes its the same ESP (Electronic Stability Program), co-invented between Mercedes and Bosch. If you have paddles, you have the E-Gear option which is similar to the Ferrari F-1 and BMW SMG transmissions. Should be fun to drive that bad boy, it sure does scream!!

I can't afford

for launch control

turn off esp
turn on sport
push throttle (it should rev to 4-5k and drop the clutch)

If it doesn't do that, then it doesn't have launch contorl
