Sorry, but for us non-racers, could you define soft vs. hard launch?
Thanks.

Also, could you describe your test procedure/test equipment. E.g., g-tech? Also, how many miles did you have on your SC430. From my reading, the BMW factory states that their cars won't reach max hp until after 5000 miles.

Thanks for the very interesting results.

Hey, if thats a self-test, i would say thats extremely accurate.
