Launch Control?
 

Anyone know of a adjustable 2 step launch control for the rx8? i've searched the forums, and googled it, and youtubed it, and i guess no one has one for the 8.

why would you need one?

have not seen one for the 8.
you going to drag race your soon to be supercharged 8?

INterceptor X.

well from what i hear, best 0-60 times are 7k drops, which i do not like.
and i do plan to take the car out to the track when i get it, 20 dollar all day pass isnt bad, safe fun.

oh and reasons for it: usually cheap cool mod and will help me launch :P

good sounding car + launch control = amazing sounding car :)

I've got a cheap launch control for ya!
it's called your left foot. ;)


c'mon man, you don't need that thing.

if youre going to spend money, buy something worth while!

grrrrrr :P fine, i guess i'll have to settle for now

but with such a free revving engine and the ability to back fire so easy!
i think 8's would sound amazing with em

here's a supra with one launching

Launch control? It's a car not a rocket ship.

LOL LOL it sure looks like it could be a space ship though, looks of an angel. one of the prettiest cars ever!

Launch control is a driver mod.

Explain to me how this works?

its not oly used for drag...lotta drifters use it too...

Explain to me how this works?

2 step launch control: when the clutch is fully depressed, and it is fully open throttle, something kicks in to not let the revs go past a set mark.

Houston we have a problem......we can't launch without our launch control

4.5k clutch feather for best launch in drag racing.

i also wanted it cause it sounded cool? :( :dunno:

Launch control is only needed on cars that have so much low-end power that they are hard to control on launch even for an experienced driver (drag cars, F1 cars, etc.). The 8 is not such a car.

Just to correct this ancient thread launch control is only necessary for boosted cars in order to generate boost before load and minimized drag. It is practically useless in all naturally aspirated engines.

^ correction: turbo lagg*

yes, left foot & right foot

lulz Team got n00bed by an old thread ressurection

launch controls are for idiots showing off.
why would you need one in manual car is beyond me.
