Alright so I have no idea if I'm the first one to have discovered this but I believe to have found a way to launch control. For those of you who have no idea what LC is, it's a method to be faster when accelerating from 0 to ...mph. To reproduce this technique I recommend going on any practice track. Have the car at a dead stop. I have only tried this on the 458 Italia and the Shelby Cobra but this shouldn't be an issue. Engage the e-brake (for those using a controller, it's the circle), with the help of the right analog stick get the revs up to around 4000 to 6000 rpms (depending on the car your driving). Remember to keep holding the e-brake. The sweet spot should be at the halfway mark of the rev gage. Now the trick is to keep the the revs at a constant value, i.e. 5000rpm. Once this is done you can release the e-brake while keeping the same constant value on the revs. The car should not move. After that, all you need to do is to mash the accelerator down and you'll see the difference between other types of hard acceleration. Try it out and see if you can reproduce. :P
 
I tried this but it doesn't work, could it be because I switched my controls because I kno people do it when they drag race
 
Haha, I thought I was the only one who new this strange trick in GT?
I doubt it makes any difference to your take off speed, but its cool to free rev the engine without any brakes on.:D It's like the car's clutch is still in or that it is neutral. This was possible back in GT4 aswell.

Well I for one have noticed slightly faster acceleration times on some cars. I don't drag race I just race normally online and with standing starts I get the edge using it.
 
2nd gear hitting the rev. limiter and you can hear rubber burning and constant acc. so so nice. try that out. My Lexus ISF 3rd gear launch is a f'ing beast.

That's for my No Stripe is. It's set for the 1/4 mile but it spins the tires while accelerating faster than a perfectly tuned GT-R Spec V or pretty much any hard launching 4wd car I've gone against.

Perfectly tuned GT-R? No Stripe launches like no other RWD car but a good tuned GT-R should smoke and No Stripe.


I know about this launch control "trick".

1. Engage e-brake
2. Rev engine BUT DONT HIT LIMITER
3. Keep revs constant
4. Release e-brake. You shouldn't go anywhere but engine should still be revving.
5. Mash the gas.


But honestly, just flooring it while e-brake is engaged then releasing e-brake is a quicker way to launch your car.

Why do people always revive long dead threads :confused:[/QU

There's a ton of good info in these older threads, have a look at them sometime. I'd rather revive an old thread than see same topic new ones created.👍
