    My launch was set at 4k ish and it seems to launch pretty good. I’ve only launched it twice, one was by myself and the other won me a race even though I locked myself out of 4th due to my foot being faster than my hand.

I had a 2004 WRB STI and regretted trading that in. MY 2004 STI took a beating and never broke. Not exaggerating, I clutched dump that well over 50 times on straightaways and doing donuts. ....but yeah, when doing so, do at your own risk....lol...since I'm a older, i'll treat this STi better....

      I have two of them and I agree. My 140k STI had a hard life and feels great even now after 100k of hard miles. I have a second 2004 STI at 60k that doesn't get out much, more a dyno baby. As long as you're willing to do maintainence you'll be golden. Also no light weight Fly wheels, you don't save much and it's the only time I've seen issues shifting. Tranny looks perfect still. IT's insane.

    Hairy is right. At about 350-370 Whp I could get some hard pulls on 245/30 tires. Many years later I have a 600 HP STI that was hitting 28 PSI around 4500 RPMs and it decided to skip about 15 feet left. I later tested to try and repeat the problem and think I just had more traction on one side from poor city roads. Bad driver and bad road = ME

      Quick haha. If you hold onto it, you'll slip the clutch badly and do even more premature wear. If I had more cameras on hand, I would have done more angles. But I assure you, you just dump the clutch so it engages hard.

    Are you certain trac mode doesn't completely disable TCS? I know that the difference advertised in the manual is that Trac Mode keeps the torque vectoring via the brakes available while disabling TCS, but perhaps it doesn't fully disable TCS despite not explicitly saying so in the book nor visually indicating on the gauge cluster.

    I’m sorry if this is a dumb question but you hold the clutch in and just let go entirely of the clutch pedal in first gear? Wouldn’t it stall the car if you let go completely? Just a curious question I’m interested in buying a 2016+ STI here in New Jersey as well

      @@JTRshuffleboy super late reply but just a bit more detail. The LC setting on the Accessport has a value in the tune for both clutch position and vehicle speed. So the rpm limiter only applies when both values are met. For example, if the speed is set to 5mph, then as soon as the wheel speed sensors read beyond 5mph, LC will never activate, same applies to you pressing on the gas when the clutch is not engaged so it will never limit at idle in neutral or when rolling at speed unless you mess with that stuff when custom tuning.

I launched it two times, over several months, after my first DYNO tune when I was only at 299 HP and 316 foot lbs of torque to the wheels. On the third time I blew up my transmission. $4000 bill to fix it. The lesson here gentlemen is to recognize that you have to pay to play. Good luck!
