I would suggest, you hold the pedal to the floor in Neutral, (you'll get a max of 4K rpm or so), then pull the stick into Drive and see how well you launch. I imagine Porsche have tested and designed tip to take this sort of traetment, hence they wouldn't have put a RPM limiter which only acts when the car is in Neutral. JZ


I would recommend doing that right near the dealership so you'll be able to push the car to the service department right after that.


Fair enough, but thats what the BMW lauch control basically does. Hold the revs at the maximum permitted RPM for a start, then opens the clutch.
I don't imagine Porsche have ignored the possibility of Customers doing this. Otherwise, why would they set an RPM limit on the throttle when the car is in Neutral??????
You'll only know if you try (preferably with someone elses car)


I guess they have a rev limiter to keep you from overrevving the engine. There are a lot of things that you can do to destroy a car that the manufacturers haven't mechanically tried to prevent. Just because you can do something to your car, doesn't mean it's okay to do it. Ask the local Porsche service manager his opinion. Do it in person so you can see the look on his face.
