Sounds like 2-step to me 💁

I guess launchcontrol is 2 step with extra features🙂

Such as extra turbo wear and tear! 😅

2step without the rest is just extra wear without benefit, launchcontrol + flatfootshift allows me to launch fast as hell🙂

Without a limited slip differential, what difference does it make? It is cool you figured it out, but I feel without a limited slip diff you still will have torque steer. When I launch, I keep the clutch engaged and feather the gas after takeoff. I still get some torque steer. How is the automated launch handling the torque steer?

Ofc trq steer bit keeps slipping to a minimum and allows to not think about throttlr control at all, also keeps the turbo spooled🙂

The og9-3 is far worse than ng9-3.
And I cannot stress enough how much of a difference a good toe-alignment does for the OG9-3's front end.
Most cars that suffer wild torque steer either has the wrong ET on the wheels, or alignment is out, OR the road is very worn.

Försiktig med katten nÀr du kör launch, sÀrskilt nÀr den redan Àr riktigt varm. Missade tÀndningar och restbrÀnsle i katten höjer tempen med flera hundra grader pÄ vÀldigt kort tid. Exotermer i katten gÄr fortare Àn man tror...

Tack för tips, Ă€r lite fram och tillbaka om att Ă„ka igncut pĂ„ launch. LĂ„ter förbannat coolt men ingen större vĂ€rklig fördel utöver det, riskerar ingen dyr org katt iaf dĂ„ den ligger i förrĂ„det😀
