Exactly mate.. Though on a silky smooth piece of tarmac the LC can work OK at times. Any other time though it's a total waste of space on anything other than a stock car.
It needs to be set at around the 2500rpm mark once the car is tuned IMO. Or even better, allow you to drop the revs (by lifting off the throttle slightly) to what you would like to launch at (something the LC on VW's DSG does)..
Either way, I shall be using my new technique from now on
