Was reading somewhere the other day the car will only do it 200 times then will disable the system. Not that I've done it nor will do it, had an M5 for three years and never used it once!

Anyone been brave and given it a try?

i heard that if you did it 5 times in the mk5 r32 it voided the warranty

I heard if you said Candyman in front of a mirror 5times, he would come to get you ....

If you have launch control why would you not have tried it?

You've become quite amusing recently.

That's what driving a Gaylander for 14,000 miles does to you

This is proper launch control

It's quite brutal....I hit the magic 2500 yesterday and gave it a go.......a couple of times...wish I'd had my camera

I am curious how 4wd launch control works. I mean rwd is easier as you can use the speed difference between the driven rear wheels and the un driven front ones to work out how much slip you have.
I guess you could do it by super accurate wheel speed measurement to pick up the signs of pre slip but serious CPU power needed there.

Its not that clever, it just dumps the clutch and let's it get on with it.

Can't watch the last video, says it's private!! You posted the wrong one up

I used mine a few times, although to be honest, it wasn't a whole lot faster than just turning off the TC, selecting Sport and then just stomping on the throttle - just more hassle to engage
Fwiw, I normally got better results in comfort suspension mode rather dynamic on a 'normal' road as the slight compliency in the damping allows more continuous traction

With drive select on the RS4 do you have to select individual mode every time you use the car, as on my Q5 it always starts in automatic which means having to select it everytime.
