Man -- Think about things hey. Logically.

Launching a car places large stress on items such as gearbox, clutch Axles etc etc ...

Engine wise, well, no it isn't "good" for it like changing the oil is, or installing new rings.

It stresses parts same as any other operation of the vehicle. All it does is allow a more consistent launch RPM each time.

Short periods of time is fine. It might sound cool doing it, but sitting on the launch limiter for extended periods of time does stress your motor.

i just use launch control when im on a cruise at d lights and if there a crowd of people, only for short period though, just to grab some attention in my dc2r hahaha.

[DLO01]

And they'd prol laugh at you and think your a douche! :p

[Limbo]

lol, or you'll get fined by the cops for noise polution

[jetdc2R]

havent had problem from cops...no one has said anything bad bout it, it sounds good

[geeang]

Did you stop and ask the people on the street, or in the other cars, how it sounded while they were wagging their pinkies at you?

[jetdc2R]

people say it sounds fat

[geeang]

jetdc2R: vvrrrRRRRRR vr vr vr vr vr
little girl on the street: mummy mummy! that car sounds FAT!

[ewendc2r]

My. God.

I seriously wonder what goes through some peoples brains -- If anything.

How old are you, 12?

I mean, its called Launch Control not ****ing "Fat Sound Control".. Use it for launching and launching only -- And even then, its still a work around for someone who can't control his/her vehicle manually which due to different traction in nearly every scenario is the best way to do it..

Flame throwers, Launch "Fat Sound" Control --- what next.

whats with all the smart ass comments??

[ewendc2r]

If you don't get it by now --- Well, I don't know.

The people you are asking advice from are more in the club-racer community than the "looks good" or "sounds fat" clan.. Therefore, expect flac when you start asking non-performance related questions about items that are clearly there to increase performance, not noise or supposed sex appeal.

[ewendc2r]

i.e. which blowoff valves sounds best and gets the chicks rather than which holds boost most accurately or is most efficient / whatever..

Sorry --- its been a long day.

[jetdc2R]

i asked is launch control safe for the car..then the comments lead to how the car sounds...and what people say...

i just want advice if it wrecks your motor thats all

[ewendc2r]

Ok -- Well then. No it shouldn't WRECK it, but its not good for it. Limit its use.

[Zilli]

you've now got your answer... no, it wont wreck your motor if you do what it's intended to do... not act like a tool at traffic lights...

Launch control is intended for use at the track... i suggest you take your car there to get your kicks...

thanks
