    Polling those of you who have it, or are thinking about getting it - what settings did/would you go with (launch RPMs; manual vs auto upshifts, etc.)?

    4000 rpm max launch. Still loses traction even at the sticky drag strip. I haven't mastered the lower rpm launches yet.
    I left auto up shift on. It doesn't bother me as much as it seems to bother others. If it doesn't auto up shift you just bounce of the rev limiter not really effective either. Maybe if you road race the car there could be a benefit.

    I would definitely leave the auto upshift on myself. One brain fart could be catastrophic!

    My dealer just set mine without really consulting me. He set the launch at max 6k, manual up shifts. I haven't launched it yet, but I'm confident it's way too high. I'll definitely have it adjusted later, probably 4k max.

    Coming from the RS 5, I'm totally fine without the auto-upshifts. Accidental downshifts, however, are killer.

    rev limiters exist for a reason. 5k launch, auto up off, auto down on
