    Yeah.
    Also known as "AMAX" mode. Full power shifts.
    Think it's enough to just floor both pedals (after doing the ritual with ESP etc DHall1 mentioned), then let go of the brake pedal.

    I was talking to APR the other day and it seems they still can't address the counter, as they don't sell the TCU...yet. I'm also pretty sure I am over the "200" or so launches...if in fact this applies to the ZF's...

    Yeah, so in doing some googling, it seems the procedure is this:

    1. ESC off (not sure if you hold until brake guard is off too?, I usually do.)
    2. Pull it back into Sport.
    3. Push brake firmly (apparently MASH it)
    4. Push throttle gradually while RPM's rise (eventually hitting the kickdown switch as well, which I never did)
    5. When tach stops, let off brake and keep throttle mashed.
