I think LC will time out if you sit there for too long before lifting your foot off the brake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorsh Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 LC is not normally worth it at lights, they’re usually in 30 mph areas - unless there’s an end to the limit just across the junction! As impressive as LC is, in normal driving it’s never used except to try it. I’m long past bothering to beat youngsters in their ST or similar at lights - let them have their fun, I know who’s in the better car ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutsyH Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Remember that from hitting the limiter you only have 4 seconds to release the brake otherwise the system aborts. To do it at the lights you would need pretty good anticipation of the lights changing. Almost in the Lewis class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just set it up when they turn red+amber? You're surely not going to do your 0-60 in sub 5 seconds away from the lights as soon as they go amber? You'd be well across the crossing before they'd even gone green - or more likely, ploughed straight into the side of the stragglers going across the lights on amber the other way!

John K Posted August 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 So you might as well mash it on amber and by the time its green you will be moving even with the boggo PDK Might need a bit of 'practice' on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving at 6.30. Dry roads. Warm car. Light traffic. ? Remember get FastR installed. We need to see you on the leaderboard ? Just remember to leave your PSM enabled!

Mattman42 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Did a couple of full bore launch control starts today - bit of wheel spin after initial take off and then whoosh - not as head snapping as i expected and now I know it’s really easy to do ????

rowbos Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I managed to get the car nice and warm on the way back from Haynes today. Went via the Somerset levels. Nice, straight, smooth national speed roads. I can confirm my LC works fantastically well ? It did not feel as if there was too much strain on the car, tried it twice. I didn’t manage to get a timing either @Mattman42 - I had the app running but with my sunglasses on, sun shining on screen and watching for cars approaching from behind I didn’t get a working time. Oh well next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman42 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 can you use the Chrono to do 0-60? i had a fiddle around but looks like its just lap timing Was LC as violent as expected? i thought it was quite tame compared to the 458 launch control i did a few years back - that really threw you back in the seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 You could reset your Chrono to see what G it pulls at the same time. I know my old Evo pulled over 1 G on braking and acceleration. Best I got with a vbox attached 4.2s 0-60 and 19.2s 30-130 - all done at Bruntingthopre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
