Launch control fun day out for the little Mexican
« on: 12 November 2023, 13:41:09 »
She now has around 2300 miles under her wheels and feels quicker than when I first had her.

Launch control...... put the car in either sport or sport plus, then switch of all traction control. Press down hard on the brake and pin the accelerator to the floor. Then release.

Not a proper M car but surprisingly quick. :y

It is illegal to travel faster than 70 MPH in the UK, so both acceleration runs recorded on a private track.

I may spend more time on the G42/G87 forum where I can be insulted by people who are still young enough to have their own hair and teeth. >:D
