Thanks. Interesting that M4 is fastest. He probably could have bettered it in Off with some more practice.

And the point of your post is? Recent threads/discussions indicate many are ignorant of how/what PTM does. The functionality of PTM has not changed since the article was published. Pretty good info for educational purposes.

What makes you say that? He only ran once and was close to the M4 time. He's a pro driver, and they are all about consistency. I've never had this system until now, so am I missing something?

Is there any value to this feature when drag racing?

So this is different than Launch Control? Do you have to have Z51 and/or MSRC to have Launch Control?
