I have only used LC one time and it was in a 2012 Porsche Turbo S. You literally could have held on to the steering wheel with one finger as the car did the rest.
Porsche awd. You can lower the line rpms with the cruise control stick to get better traction and a good launch. Depends on the tires and environment what rpm you launch. People go down to 3500 rpm I hear.
