That seems odd to me, I use it all the time and love this feature. Never had any problems but just have to be careful.

Has anyone tried the Launch Control? I curious as to how it works and how the car responds. The manual says put the car in Competitive Mode, wheels straight, and car in 1st. Then quickly mash the accelerator to the floor to activate Launch Control. Then quickly and smoothly release the clutch. Anyone done this? If so, does the the RPM's bang the rev limiter?

After executing the 7 second button hold down to turn off all the traction control stuff, etc., is there a dash light indication that all that "stuff" has been disabled? If so, wazit look like?

yes there should. on my v6 theres the 2 lights that come on and theyre right next to each other. ill post a picture tomorrow if someone doesnt beat me to it one is the traction control one and the other i think is the tire pressure one. not sure about the latter but i will confirm tomorrow.

Your correct again...two lights side by side to remind you. (as if you didn't know anyway)
