    This video makes me sad :( Polo Launch Control

    Clearly someone can afford new mechatronics units and clutch packs.... That is just stupid. But, then again, getting a good launch in a WRX STI is a brutal, brutal launch too. I'd rather subaru build quality though

    So Tempting, but could turn out to be oh so expensive.

    For sure it's not a good way to threat the DSG7, but seems to be effective...!

    Anyway, nice to see that if VW didn't provide a launch control for Polo GTI, an Italian guy invented it...!! LOL

    I've witnessed this 'launch' whilst at a VW dealership;

    A stressed parent with a screaming bratty kid was trying to take off in her car just collected after being serviced. She pushed it into neutral obviously and all I could hear was endless 4k rpm rev bouncing. A second or so later I hear tires screeching as she whilst having it bouncing off 4k rpm limiter just pushed it into drive....

    For a fwd Tiguan, it left a nice skid...
