G80 Launch Control
I don’t know about you guys but I’m having a difficult time with this. I’m doing the procedure right and I’m never getting a good launch. In fact most of the time as soon as I launch I hear a pop type noise in the engine end it just doesn’t take off correctly. The fastest I’ve gotten is 4.1 seconds 0 to 60 and I only did that once. The rest have been too horrible to report. And the stupid thing won’t let you do it several times in a row. There’s some sort of timer before you can engage launch control again. Anybody know what criteria or time you have to meet before you can engage launch control again?

Absolutely no one that owns a G8X has any input on this? Like none of you are using launch control?

Dude. I bought the car to go to Dunkin' Donuts and the grocery store. You think I'm launching this puppy?

I know NCG80M3 did a bunch of attempts for one of his videos maybe he can chime in on that, too |

Mine does automatically! If all the launch preconditions are met, the car automatically goes into second gear when the “preparing launch control” message appears.

I made a video about how to launch this thing but youtube always reduces the quality to 144p for some reason and you can’t see anything. Anyway, all the best bro. Try to put your foot all the way down on the brake pedal and then the accelerator. It should do the trick.

Just saw this. So I know when i first started to launch the car I would wait 3 seconds then go and that is not the way to do it. As soon as you see launch control ready let off the brake. Also, I had to warm up the tires a little and do it on a nice paved street. I was only getting 4.1s in a parking lot, but when I got to the street I did a 4.0 and a 3.85

I think you’re mistaking me for the other member with the G80BSM handle. I’m waiting for my H&R’s to arrive
