Title: Would manual transmission GTI owners be interested in launch control?

 :stupid:

I am 99% of the way to making it possible, need to get a car in to try it on next. No extra parts required, just a software alteration.

will this be part of the remap or an extra software change? Basically what I mean is will it work with all remaps or just your own custom maps?

I doubt any human could move the stick quicker than the DSG can change. I'm sure it'd make a difference though  :happy2:

 :signLOL: I wondered how long it would be before one of you piped up!

It's pretty tight as it is. This might just tip the balance. Only 1 way to find out!

I'll be watching this with great interest. :popcornsoda:
