    In the UK we have this button on the central bridge:

    I believe in the US it's labelled PS (Performance Start) but correct me if i'm wrong.

    Somehow "LAUNCH" seems so much more evocative and exciting. "I'm going to Launch my T" sounds more inspiring than "I'm going to PS my T"

    For those of you yet to try it, I can recommend giving it a go. We had a bit of sunshine last weekend so I found a quiet stretch of road and you can check out the result here: https://youtu.be/qZkR5rQyqEU

    I'm sure you'll find this short clip highly entertaining. It's a shame the stretch of road wasn't a bit longer but probably just as well for my license. Two of my boys were with me and it just wouldn't be the same if the youngest one in the back had to replace Launch with PS. By the way....no ducks were harmed during the making of this film. Enjoy!....

    That is REALLY funny.

    I watched it a few times, will go back again and again. And, yes, PS would not work so well in the dialog...

    :) :) :)

    Haha... Glad you like it. I end up smiling every time I watch it. We were videoing facing rearward to try and capture the exhaust sound but the laughing sort of stole the show (together with my son's spontaneous narration). Amazing how kids view things.... priceless. Makes me realise how lucky I am to own such a wonderful car.
