Is there going to be launch control on the auto? The IS-F does not have it...

Guff · 01-27-2012, 07:34 PM

No.

I don't see what the purpose would be anyway, we aren't going to beat many people in a straight line...

Launch control is your left foot!

Dave-ROR · 01-27-2012, 08:38 PM

Nah, it's your right foot. Right foot brake, left foot gas...let revs climb and then let go.

Nope. Pedals stay the same, shift pattern stays the same, but the damn wipers and turn signals are reversed. Serious.

Also noticed quoted you in their sig regarding a JDM girlfriend. Go for the English-speaking JDM option.

Since Launch Control is really for cars with berzillion horse power, I don't think 86 need one at all. =p Use left foot plz.

Launch control, bringing us from 0-60 in 6.8 rather than 7 seconds.

I was being facetious

I thought launch control was for auto clutch systems like dsg and smog because there is no other way to do a fast, hard launch like you can with your own clutch pedal or doing a brake stand with a torque converter automatic.
