    Default launch control question

    Hi sorry for the noon question. I have my launch control set for 4500. Put now I can't rev past 4500. I push the gas even with the car in neutral and clutch out and it would still hit 4500. Is there a way around this so that I can rev past it ?

    Thanks

    do you mean that when your driving in gear you cant get past 4500 rpm?

    because you have it set to 4500.....

    if you want to hit the redline in neutral you need to up your limit past the redline, in other words turn the launch control off.

    Really that's the only way? /: it would make more sense if the lc was activated when in first gear with clutch down obviously..

    well that's not the way it works on this car

    If you want a more sophisticated launch control, you're going to have to buy a GTR I'm afraid

    Why do you want to rev the car up past 4500rpm with no load?

    Nope. Launch control at 4500rpm will do nothing but smoke the tires and reving the engine under no load with put unnecessary wear and tear on motor mounts amongst other things but its your car not mine. Have fun!

    I don't even use the lc I jus have it set and I only questioned about how to rev it past 4500 when not trying to activate the lc bUT I guess you can't do that with this car. I don't need to kno what happens with lc I know what it does
