Launch control with auto trans
Does the auto trans on the FR-S have a launch control feature while in sport mode? (say a launch from 4k RPMs) Or are the threads I have been reading these in just people mashing on the brakes while giving it some gas?

No formal launch control but the process to do it is in this thread.
Basically, just don't hold the brake all the way to the floor and you can launch at pretty much any RPM you want. |

This. However once you start getting on it. That back wheels will break loose and start smoking in place. So dont do it for long just long enough as needed.

This procedure is called "brake torquing" and it's older than time...
