Wow thats gorgeous. Would love to drive a manual one of these beasts. Those seats look so much more supportive than in my dad's G6ET! My mate's mum has one like this but blue and auto, but Silver's my favourite! (same as my BF).

Launch control:
Be staitionary, select first (with your foot on the clutch obviously)
Foot flat on the acc (it will rev to 3800rpm and stay there)
Turbo builds a slight bit of boost
Drop!! The clutch =

yeah i seen on youtube how it works on the xr6t as i had a little search for it but how do i set it/turn it on or is it automatically engaged when clutch depressed and 1st gear selected ? i thought it was an aftermarket add on kit and not a std factory feature ?

Its on all the time, and its factory.
Just first gear, foot on clutch and it won't rev past 3800rpm.
Don't do it until you have at least 1500kms racked up. Let the motor run in a touch.

probably just fired for being a dick in general ! more suited to a holden workshop !
as for car, it keeps getting quicker and quicker ! must be self learning to a degree ! BOV fitted, goes in next week for 3000km checkover then its remap and some light jiggery pokery soon after !

be careful with tune at my work we had an ss with mafless tune and blown motor - overfueling thinned out the oil

ooh, take it was one of those mail order tunes ? not good either way ! must have been massively overfueling to cause that !
anyway, lee @ RDP will be doing it ! maybe not for a while but defo !
tcs is pretty useless in these things ! 1/2nd and it spins/smokes till you change up !

turn it off and its rubber clouds !

so its already quick enough to embarrass 317 R8's...
