Ok, these are my gforce relevatins after a LAUNCH CONTROL start.

Someone else has better\different results?

 

Here is my maximum g-force for cornering after my track day, using stock street tires.

 

The highest number that I've seen for braking, different track day.

 

C'mon!
Wonderful cornering man!
Not yet tried a LAUNCH CONTROLLED START? I did 0.99 g!

 

No launch control start yet for me. Seems like a lot of wear and tear on the car.... I might be tempted to try it now that there is a competition brewing....

 

Try it! Try it! It's so good! So fast...Try it as soon as u can!!!

 

Here's a shot following PCA DE at Watkins Glen at the end of May. It was my first ever DE event in any car and in the 'Green' group. Sorry for the quality of the picture...I have since hit 'reset' so can't produce another.

 

Wonderful lateral acceleration! Good!!!

 

...at the end of a, ahem, spirited drive in the California hills - 1.5G of peak lateral acceleration. I'm surprised the peak acceleration during a launch control start is still above 0.9G.

 

Amazing!!!

I'd like to know at what side G load, under normal pavement conditions, that the car spins out at.

 

I'm not so sure I would...I'll be at Lime Rock Park DE this weekend and I hope I don't have to report back with a number
But seriously, it would be interesting to see the threshold level but I also suspect that this can depend on a car's set up (stock or tuned i.e. suspension, springs, etc.) as well as options: PDCC or non PDCC, not to mention tires. In my case I have all the mechanical bells and whistles available except for PCCB for example.

 

C'mon!!! 1.49? GREAT man!!!
I'll Just eat a salad then go out to try to reach it!!!

 

I was at the Porsche World Roadshow where they had a 997.2 Turbo S to demonstrate launch control. They launched it about every 5 minutes all day long.

One of the instructors said that car has been launched 16,000 times. Sixteen-thousand times!!! And has not needed any maintanence.



This is not your M3 or GT-R sensitive dual clutch. This is a Porsche.

 

WOW, 16,000 times! That is hard to believe, but very nice to hear!!!! I never did it in my 2009S as I can't figure out where to do it without drawing great ire from the authorities. In the mean time, I do use the mini-launch control that brings the RPM up to 3000 at the start.
