I dunno either... but I think that I'll stick with *not* doing brake stands.

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.
