Launch Control....first time with wife!
So I was driving around town yesterday with the wife and our two youngest kids and we found ourselves on a wide open back road........
 So I looked over at the wife and said "Are you ready for launch control?" She looked at me with fear in her eyes.  I come to a complete stop ..... set PTM to #4...smash the pedal down....wait for the RPM's to settle around 4200 and release the clutch... After the screaming from the kids and wife stops she looks over and says "That was pretty cool...can we do it again?"  Mission accomplished... Enjoy your day.

Wow that's awesome!! Sounds like so much fun.
I tried launch control with no luck :/ Put it in PTM 4 like the video said, and released the clutch with no luck. Tires just went up in smoke. Maybe I released the clutch to slow? I only have 800 miles on the car so maybe Its not fully broken in? Side note: My RPMS stopped at around 4,800 - 5,000 which I thought was a bit weird. On the video it showed around 4,200 just like you mentioned.

I only have a 2SS and have only tried it twice before mods. Scared the s@#$ out of my wife on the second try and I only drive it now. Wish she would drive it once in a while, but any damage is on me now. At least she lets me drive her Jeep once in a while, but that usually to take it to the shop.
At least, I am the only one to blame if I break something on my car.

I to scared the shit out of my wife one day when were out one day. I left a stop sign with everything it had (663 HP), we were all over the place and yes, it can get away from you in a hurry! All I heard was screaming and a death grip of my right arm with marks still left! Boy, O' Boy, don't ever do that again, if I ever want anything else again, if you know what I mean!!
