Launch control, Driving modes, Traction controls etc

[ctb11]

I have a track day booked for 9 June and had planned to have my Supra well over 2000 km before that date but lockdown has meant I only have 750 km on my Dec 19 delivered Supra. I know about launch control becoming active at the 2000 km mark however that doesn't mean much in a track situation so, what else changes? Should I make an attempt at adding 1250 km in 2 weeks before the track day or just leave it as it is?

Traction Mode Is Surprisingly Lenient!

On track I was surprised Traction Stability Mode let the rear come out as much as it did lol. Who has had their car on track?

Definitely does give slight angle which is very fun

Is traction an issue

New to the board. I have been lurking on/off for a while and interested in the supra. My primary question that I have is about traction. I've tried finding info on this but find very little. Having a Z06 I would say traction is the biggest disappointment I have with the car. Using 1st or 2nd at anything more than half throttle causes nothing but spinning and swaying in the back end. Doesn't matter if you roll on throttle or hit the gas while already rolling. As soon as you hit about 4-5k rpm traction is gone. So I'm curious as to how the supra handles it's power. Is traction a big concern for this car? What about with basic mods? I would likely only do exhaust, down pipe and simple tune. For reference I just want to be able to use all the cars power and not be limited by traction and rather by my right foot.

With catless DP and Ecutek tune (446/520), if I hit the VSC button once, I can spin the tires at almost any speed if I mash the throttle. Tires have been my biggest limiting factor at the drag strip, as well.

I am still on the stock tires

Traction is fine. Go buy the a90 and be happy.

Ive tried to initiate launch control but I think the 2021 models may not have it? I put the car on sport mode, then clicked on traction off, held the brake hard, floored the gas and all it does is burn out. Any input would be appreciated!

In order for launch control to be available, you must drive at least "x" miles from ignition start and transmission and oil must be within a certain temp range. It's all outlined in the owners manual (as I had the same experience early on).

Thank you! I didn't even think about that. The car was pretty warmed up when I tried it I wonder how long it needs? I need to look at the manual.

I could be wrong but i think traction control has to be on for launch control?

Nope TC off. 1200 miles needed.

Has anyone tried to launch control a manual?

The manuals don't have it. If you're in gear w/ the clutch in and floor it the car will just rev freely
