@balaies The Turbo launches at 4500rpm with LC, while the naturally aspirated 911s launch at 6500rpm with LC.

@balzayed76 He is on a track that probably requires all drivers to wear helmets (for insurance and legal purposes)

Suck Driver! U don't need to put 6.500 rpm! 4.500 it's the right limiter to do Launch Control.

This is a real launch control watch?v=I3ydvKpxavY

Just as Justbeatit999 said. I think he didn't do it the right way. Check out other videos!

[balzayed76]

why he is putting on a safety helmet ?! :/ I thought the car is full equipped with safety air bags !!!!!!

@eireskate Launch control only engages when you have it in automatic. Porsche did this to avoid people shifting to late and blowing their engines. The automatic shifts are slightly faster than the manual shifts anyway.
