BM,
but if you turn off the launch control, i would assume you would lose the anti lag technology too.

the dedicated 2 cylinders that spool the turbo on take off wouldnt be isolating themselves to the chore of spooling if you turn off launch control i assume???

Bet Ross would drive around with no traction control on like me,nanny controls!!!!pfttt. Learn to drive if you want to launch a car correctly,I think its made for those people that want a performance car but cant get the true performance out of it cause they cant drive.Wheelnut said his boss has a GT and regularly gets nailed at the lights cause he cant launch it!Clearly they shouldn’t be driving a performance car in the first place. I look at the tacho when I launch and change gear,nothing worse than being flung through the windscreen in a GT if your not looking at the taco cause the rev limiter is pretty savage.

Latest BMW M3 has been destroyed cause of all the gimmicks,made for the Americans who only know how to drive in a straight line..hahaha

I wonder if Ford Australia will follow Bmw’s footsteps and void the drivetrain warranty after so many launch control uses.

Ross,
so if you disable the traction control on the falcon, it will also disable the launch control?

thanks for that mate.

Richo,
i think they may destroy the press fleet, as they are usually pre production mules.
my local dealer told me that all the utes around at the moment are hybrids/mules that are tacked together and usually start to fall apart once they have toured the country.

and how could he be so sure? because ute production doesnt start till this month.

the same would go for pre production sedans that were around.

Max, everyone knows a WRX and EVO launch hard when you abuse it like that, but most people with half a pounds worth of intelligence knows that this is not the way to treat a car
