sorry for the bump,
anyone know how to choose the RPM level on the checkered flag TC like on the M3?
i mean, why would i want to launch with 3700 RPM and do long burnout when i can choose to launch at ~2500 rpm and get off the line quick?

Can't do it.
Launch control was pretty useless with stock power and is completely useless once tuned.

I've been playing with launching at autox. My last run last event I was able to nail it pretty well. You gotta back off the throttle pretty much immediately after the clutch engages, and then feather it a bit to get it to hook up (this was DTC completely off though)
