    Hi all
    well, just curious to those of you that have the 360CS or any other model that has the "launch Control"

    Is it really that easy to have a fast launch using this system, or does it take some getting used to. The reason why I ask is that I was at the track last year, and a 360CS was getting spanked baddly, he probably didn't know what he was doing, trapping in the 14's... he was spinning all over the place and had no traction. After about 4 runs, the guy left the track he looked pissed off.

    any thoughts?

    So when you say "at the track" you mean at the drag strip?? What a goddam idiot. Nobody should take that car to the drag strip. Why? It is great on a real track obviously but it lacks torque (in comparison to other muscle at the strip) and is not built to be dogged for quarter mile after quarter mile. It is a race car yes, but not a bloody drag car. Someone should have slapped him before he left the track.

    So you're saying this Ferrari is built to lower standards than your average high-schooler's mildly hopped up camaro? I don't think a few runs at the drag strip every once in a while is asking very much.

    Also, its lack of torque has nothing to do with those times. It should be running 12's.
