A line-lock allows the driver to set the brakes on just one set of tires. Usually, racers put a line-lock on the front tires in order to aid their burnouts. They set the brake, hold a button, and then release the brake pedal. The brakes will release on the back, but hold the front brakes until the button is released. Some people try to simulate a transbrake by having four-wheel line-locks. This allows the driver to hold the brakes with the button on the line, instead of his foot.

Although I can see how a line lock would be a nice little addition, I am not looking to mod my car or specialize in burnouts.

Since I would just be running for fun (not even to win, just for fun against my own times) me thinks that I will just make do with flooring the L99 on "go"... in 'M' mode... all things traction/stable turned off... and letting the car shift instead of TapShifting.

Some use it to get a quicker launch when racing also..instead of having a foot on the brake you just realease the button

Yeah, it does make great sense... a launch control of sorts for automatics, which I would assume is lower impact to the drive train given the front brakes are engaged but not the rear... but, it's a mod to the car I don't want to have done.... I know, I know.. it's minor... but, it's not stock and that's where my tendencies lie.

I think it was Scott@Bjorn3D that got beat by the 6 cyl. IRPQ was beat by his wife's Lexus.

So, since I know you know and we have history, educate me on what those specs mean.
