There's a difference between losing time at the launch (you can lose time anywhere really due to mistakes) and a single mod gaining you a consistent 1-2 second advantage - that was my point about the DSM link. It will probably help provide for consistent launches, but going from a good start off the line to a great one, if its dialed in, isnt going to net you that much time.
A good comparison is probably 60' times at the dragstrip.
OMG RJ, your smart, read previous posts, I already posted up 60 foot times. And remember the 60foot drag times are with burnouts and good drag strip launch pavement. A pavement has nowhere near the traction. So, if stock tired or street tired DSMs are pulling consistent 1.6 and a good street tired fwd is pulling 2.0, thats .4 seconds difference in OPTIMAL conditions. Now lets throw in some dirt, cracked pavement, and sand (especially at verona) and lets see where this awd launch will really get a kickstart. Also the 1-2 seconds is just not in the launch but in the focus you can put in that first corner instead of worrying about launch/first corner.
