Sounds stealthy. 'Just some Golf' putting a whooping down.I get pretty much zero with 3500-3800 launches. Over 4K it's a bit much for street tires.

Any tire spin with the Haldex at 2k rpm?
Haha launch control at a street light would be hilarious... easy ticket
I think feds got the idea. Launch control doesn't mean drag launch mode. You can technically use a range of rpms for some degree of benefit. Or road conditions.

This probably belongs in the dumb question thread but what is the difference between launch control on a DSG and simply holding your left foot on the brake in a standard auto and taking off from whatever rpm you chose? perhaps something more practical that won't result in as much tire spin.
A traditional auto gearbox has a torque converter, the DSG has a DMF like a manual gearbox. So launching is completely different... to a certain extent. With the traditional auto, you can brake boost, while with the DSG you use launch control or with a manual you slip or dump the clutch.
I probably didn't explain it well, or even at all. Sorry. I feel like what I want to say is just floating out of reach... it's frustrating.
I think that makes sense. In a traditional auto you would run the risk of damaging the torque converter if you do it too often I assume. I'm not sure how much it would feel different though if both cars had equal power.
I launch from street lights at least once a night in the summer here. There's a lot of Mexico going on for a small Canadian city. Launch control specifically refers to being able to floor the accelerator and the car holding the preprogrammed launch RPM and not redlining. If you don't apply full throttle you are certainly launching, but you aren't technically using launch control.
No, that's normal, going back several generations:The GTI S with a manual will not let you rev higher than 4k RPM at a standstill, does that mean it has launch control?

Last one is DSG, but same limit applies...
