Porsche 911 Driver Shows Us How Not To Launch Control
You have to wonder if the bystanders outside this car meet in Paramus, New Jersey knew what was coming next. Yes, people leaving such events in an exuberant fashion is nothing new, but as you see this 991.1-generation Porsche 911 pulling up to make is exit and furiously fiddling with various settings, you know it’s not going to end well.
Sure enough, he engages launch control. To merge onto a highway. You can see where this is going, can’t you?
Contact with a barrier soon occurs, although fortunately before the 911 built up any real speed. Damage should hopefully be minimal, but the man’s pride? That’s going to take some time to heal.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Steering wheel turned almost 90°. What was his goal?
Darwin award for the slowest crash caused by loss of traction on a dry road
And to think I almost went to that meet…
Launch control is god’s way of saying you can’t pull away from a standstill without having to show off
Must be a former mustang owner.
I WAS THERE, A CAMARO WAS TOTALED RIGHT BEFORE
Premonition?!
Someone call 911! No not that guy…
tragic but atleast it looked like a lil ding, sure his ego took a massive hit but atleast he can drive his car home
How do you mess that up?
