Sorry to bring this back from the dead......

Decided to launch from the lights last night with ESP off, it doesn't cut the power now in the 1st to 2nd upshift of 2nd to 3rd upshift!! yayyy.... so :jump_clap: to those who said that would be the case with ESP off.......also got that carried away with it that I also hit the limiter for the 1st time......thought me car was broke before I realised it was the limiter :oops:

By god it gets better and better (2k miles up now).......

No problem, obviously Im an enthusiastic driver too, found that out on my third/forth day of ownership. Looking at the old threads about running in - I have canned mine from new(once warmed up) and it produced the highest BHP on Ray West RR out of the dozen or so cars that he had remapped!!! Ended up with 437.9 with remap.

20k miles and the exhaust sounds better then ever ... engine breathes free and makes fun to hunt 997C2S on the german autobahn until 285km/h (limited vmax ... still ...)

Make sure your are turning the ESP off. you have to be stationary, the press and hold the button for 5 seonds. Then when you pull away the light should stay on and not flash. If it flashes then you have only turned the TC off.

Mines does this all the time with it all turned on when i give it full bore gear changes

Turn all the aids off, and the tyres cherp when i change to 2nd :)
