Default Plug-and-play 2-step launch controller
Any of you guys seen this yet, I saw it in the new GM High Performance Tech mag, looks bada$$.
I had a 2-step on my turbo VR6 back in the day and it came in handy. Near perfect launches everytime. Just pinned it and went.

Yeah sorry, I used to have a GTI VR6 that I turbo'd. Made pretty good power (413 on pump) but the biggest headache ever. VWs have too many problems.

Old pic before I put the Porsche 928 wheels on it, then sold it.

Wow! thats a HUGE change in cars. Going from that to a Camaro?! That sounds pretty unheard of.
