when stopped, hit the button twice. you'll see "competitive mode" on the DIC.

Hold the clutch in put it in first, don't turn the wheel, put the gas pedal on the floor.... It will stay at about 4K even if you floor it.... Release the clutch while holding the gas pedal down. The computer will control tire spin to give you a consistent launch.... Then row the gears like normal.

but I'd release the cluch NOT dump or sidestep it... that has been known to break a few output shafts.

Oh my gawd. I am hitting up a parking lot. I will be pissed if this isn't on my car.

Competitive mode is when you press the button twice. Hold it down and both stability and traction control turn off. Launch control can only be used while in competitive mode on a MANUAL SS. You have to put the clutch in, hold the wheel straight, and floor the gas. Should limit it to around 4500 RPM. Then you drop the clutch.

So why do they have COMP mode in the Automatics?
