Same as the M3....no mention of LC but we have ...
a watered down version that revs to 1600 (M5) 1800 (M3) but unfortunately just does a clutch drop with way too much wheel spin. It's much easier to just take your foot completely off the gas and then stomp the pedal....the car will rev to about 3500 rpm and do a clutch drop. As soon as the clutch drops, back off on the gas to about 1/2 to 3/4 until the car hooks up and then foot to the floor. This method gives the best launch but it does take practice.
Of course it is hard on the clutch and drivetrain.
Even the Ferrari F430 in the US comes with no LC. I guess they just don't trust Americans...he he.

just as well as far as i'm concerned
this car isn't about drag racing :)
there might be a trackday or two in the next few weeks at PR, weather permitting. that'll do for a test because i have some baseline laptimes there. scary track though and the tires WILL be toast. alternatively TH. you mentioned 2:25 or so for the m5 there? i ran a 2:24 with the mini on street tires, surely the monster ought to do better! time will tell.

I found this out early on
No problem doing burnouts, even at a few hundred miles on the car. Just stomp on it. My times right now are still 4.7 or so per my gtech. Still more to learn per the new C&D - 4.2 is my goal. Maybe once I hit the first service it will open up the final mode and I will get there.
