Is there launch control in 2011 evo GSR's??

I know on 9's and such you just put it in first gear and floor it and the launch control activates and keeps the revs at like 5k so is it the same case with these evo x's?

Thanks guys.

i heard that if acd, ayc, and asc is fully off then it would be... but i've yet to test this myself...

 

thats not launch control, thats "keep stupid from blowing up their transmission" control

 

??

 

like i said... its just what i've heard... sooo yeah lol

 

if u put it in first gear and rev, it holds the revs at 5.5, after that....

 

On the SE/MR, full AYC off, mash brake and gas, it will sit and hold until you release the brake.

Don't know about the GSR, but I don't believe so.

 

yup, from experience

 

in a gsr, even with all the options on (traction control and what not), in first gear and second ive tried, it holds the revs at 5.5

 

Yup GSR...first gear, mash pedal and it holds at 5.5k like others said.

 

Cant tell if you guys are being serious or sarcastic....

they're being serious, it doesn't let you rev over 5500 rpm, but its not launch control on the GSR's, its there to prevent idiots from launching at 7600 rpm

 

So don't use it as launch control?

And what is wrong with launching at redline? I come from owning a subaru and my best launches were when i would mash the pedal then let go repeatedly, which would lead me to get to very high revs but I would have much more boost off the line, got some of my best times doing that.

its good for fast times but bad for your transmission... the STi tranny can take much more abuse than the evo tranny can... although other than the diff pins I haven't heard of anyone breaking a tranny in a X...

I'm not gonna tell you how to drive your car, but if you do rev limiter clutch dumps all the time something's gonna break...

 

Oh no worries man haha no clutch dumping here nomatter how hard I launch A good launch requires a bit of clutch burnin'

Anyway thanks for the info guys I just bought my x, ill throw up the other thread I had in mind with a few other questions about the X I just got. Thanks guys!~
