But I have 35is so not sure if the programming is different??
fo the Launch, the car was in the Sports+ and i followed the instructions to push the gas pedal all the way down, LC is not enabled until you click the switch at the end of the throw of the pedal.

Surface was dry, dust free (no sand etc).

The figures are the figures. I wanted to do this test as all other tuning test on the road are so subjective. this test has empirical data with a high level of accuracy.

Only thing missing is multiple test to see the variation of launches with and without LC. As this is MY car and not a press car, i decided that one launch was enough of the day.
