No.




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

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.

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

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.
