how many miles are on your car?

have you read the manual?

yadac123 · 12-07-2008, 03:03 AM

is it true that the new software will have launch control disabled? when my first oild change due should i ask for no software update?

FStop7 · 12-07-2008, 11:33 AM

No, it's not true.

How many miles are on your car? LC does not activate until after 1250.

call me stupid but I still can't lauch it. I followed the manual. Activated launch control, saw the flag. Gas to 5000rpm and bring the select lever to center and car rolled slowly. transmission warning came up because it's overheating.LOL anyone?

This is how you do it properly:

1. Trade the car in for a 6spd.
2. Put the transmission in 1st.
3. Rev the motor to 4.5K.
4. Slight modulation off the clutch and hold onto the steering wheel.

Sorry, had to do it.

4.5k is a lil too high there. I do it at 3.5k...

I can't activate my S6 for some reason ... do you need to be in M mode?
