Procede V5 launch control
Did I miss it or did Shiv just teased launch control and never explained how to use it? Instructions and some details on how it works would be great! I am assuming it works similarly to the traction control aka spark retard.

To trigger the timing retard during brake torquing (pressing both brake and accelerator at the same time), just press and hold the volume down button on the steering wheel. You will hear the engine/exhaust note go deeper and you will build more boost. A second or two later, let go of the brake and you will take off. When you let go of the volume-down button, the ignition advance will be ramped back in and you will pick up another 50-60lbft of torque over the next 1/2 second. You better have traction when you do this. shiv |

It can actually be controlled with your right foot. Just watch the in-dash boost gauge and launch when you're ready. We can easily make it user definable so it targets a pressure regardless of throttle position. But more pressing things to do before that

Good to know. I never done this before. I thought this was done automatically.
