Floor it while the car is in Park, while at the same time holding the brake and then throw it in Reverse.

Then as a courtesy to other drivers, come back and pick up the pieces in the road.

No - there are no launch controls on this car. The most you can do is switch to Sport plus, and disable traction control - but this is not a (super)car with dedicated launch controls.

Yeah, this is no GT-R I'm afraid you can only disable traction control and switch to sport+ mode.

No Winson... This one was funny. Lol, I couldn't stop laughing. @ the OP... Unfortunately the 2103 Lexus GS350, no matter which model... Does not come equipped with launch control.
