It doesn't apply full force on the clutch pack...it allows slippage at launch. So it does not throw full torque at it initially.  :happy2:
I've had my '07 for 8.5 yrs...with 340bhp and 363lb*ft for 6 yrs of that...and made many launches each year with the clutch pack still holding up.

Good news is my car does have launch control. Tried it last night, great fun. However, when I try to activate it first it feels like it wants to pull away as above but if i release the accelerator then press it again it works properly. I tried this a few times and every time it was like this.  Are you all experiencing this?

Yes. It will stay at that and when you lift your foot off the break the car will stay still but the earth will spin in the other direction.

OK seen some vids where it goes to 2800 or 3000.

It could be limited to 2600 and not have LC.

It can be mapped to be higher. Mine sits about 2,500 I think.

I've read some posts where DSG will not rev above 2600 in P N etc.

This may be a safety feature. Surly if i release the brake at 2600 something fun will happen. But is the LC? Isn't LC supposed to help you get power down not just spin the wheels??

If it didn't have LC and you tried would the car not try to move and you'd feel it?

No as the clutch is not engaged when you have your foot on the brake.
