Would manual transmission GTI owners be interested in launch control?
« on: February 24, 2012, 10:27:56 pm »
 :stupid:

I am 99% of the way to making it possible, need to get a car in to try it on next. No extra parts required, just a software alteration.

will this be part of the remap or an extra software change? Basically what I mean is will it work with all remaps or just your own custom maps?

I doubt any human could move the stick quicker than the DSG can change. I'm sure it'd make a difference though  :happy2:
