Does anyone else find the stitching on the B8 steering wheel a little rough? I drove a 2011 DSG yesterday, and showed the owner launch control. He was shocked that such a neat feature existed but was 'hidden' by Audi.

I have to say it took off pretty good, but it wasn't an earth shattering launch. I'd say it'll give you good consistent launches, but it's not going to cut 1.7-1.8 60 foot times in all likelihood on a stock car. Maybe the extra weight of 2 of us being in the car was a factor. It was about 75 degrees out.

Sak, Yeah, I think the stock programmed LC is weak and not much if any better than launching off idle... I was able to cut low 1.9 and high 1.8 60's stock and now am cutting consistent low 1.7x 60's... Last time at the track I didn't have a single 1.8 60ft time as they were all in the 1.7x range... Now if HPA makes a true LC that we can launch at 4500RPM that will be wicked IMO...
