I read over the manual last night. Had some nice stuff in it. I like the shift lights in the HUD. I also liked some of the new features of the A6 trans, this thing is gonna be sweet.

Has anyone read about the use of launch control for the manual? My ZR-1 is really simple and I've heard that the ZL-1 is somewhat different....

when the following criteria are met: . Competitive Driving Mode is selected or any of the PTM modes are selected. . The vehicle is not moving. . The steering wheel is pointing straight. . The clutch is pressed and the vehicle is in first gear. . The accelerator pedal is rapidly applied to wide open throttle. The Launch Control feature will initially limit engine speed as the driver rapidly applies the accelerator pedal to wide open throttle. A smooth, quick release of the clutch, while maintaining the fully pressed accelerator pedal, will manage wheel slip." Pg 9-48 |

Agreed, really like "format 4" on the HUD . Wonder if it will be possible to do some sort of software upgrade on the standard HUD to include 'format 4'?

Great link. In the back, it listed a web site for purschasing service manuals. I went on the site, and they aren't available until June, but they can notify you when they're ready if you wish. The cost is $200.00. For me, it will be a worth while investment, because this is the last toy I'm going to buy.

You have to love an owner's manual that plainly references "track events," "drag strip use," and even gives you instructions for bedding brake pads.
I can't wait to see what 580HP feels like on the back straight at VIR!

On page 9-37, I wonder under what condition is the first to fourth gear shifting required? I wonder if I could even remember to do that...
