Apologize for the confusion. To be clear, I'm not saying that you can actually launch the CX-5 like a Macan with launch control using the things I mentioned. I'm just saying that you can improve acceleration from a standstill without torque braking by using the PC or SB to make the gas pedal more responsive. It does this by forcing the throttle body to open faster. It won't launch like the Macan in the second video, but it will feel more like an analog throttle cable instead of the modulated drive-by-wire system. Meaning if it takes you .1 second to floor the pedal, the throttle body will open in .1 second. Without the PC/SB, it doesn't matter if you floor the pedal in .1 second, it will always take .5 seconds to go from closed to wide open.
