IS350 launch control
How do you do a hard launch with the IS350? Can I do this:
* depress brake pedal
* rev engine up to 2000rpm
* let go of the brake pedal
Does this hurt my transmission?

at 2000rpms.. ateleast in my car.. id be worried about rear tires. more than the tranny..
it cant hurt the tranny unless you maybe did it everyday for a loooong time
after doing the pedal dance.. if i brake torque above 1000rpms.. (which is barely even touching the gas).. i spin my tires
if my tires are heated up from a burnout i can brake torque to about 1500rpms and maitain a smooth launch

^Overheating the fluid will happen in any automatic transmission car when you brake torque it. If you can't replace the fluid in this car then I would suggest to keep the brake torques to a minimum.

So what's those pics supposed to show.. turning the trac off lets you burn some rubber? It will let you turn off trac until you reach 30mph so I don't know what's the difference between trac off button and pedal dance for launches.

^^ my car will still sometimes chirp when it shifts from 1st to 2nd and the traction light flicks so i think it cuts power.. i just feel like the car launches better with the pedal dance

Seriously though, from what I've read, the traction button and the pedal dance are two completely different things. I believe the pedal dance lets you spin tires all day long, where as hitting the traction button (on 06 models) doesn't.
Although, personally, I've never tried the pedal dance.
