Some way of launching.

I dont know about you but I love the way on a lot of you have to manually launch from the start line. Usually, you change from N to first gear. You wouldnt do that in real life though would you.
I dont like the fact that the clutch is automatic on GT at the start line. It means you get a perfectly timed launch every time.
I think having to time your starts adds another bit of excitement to the start of a race, having the ability to have a bad start or even accidentaly get a head start.
If the races on GT are 2-5 laps most of the time then it would be hard to implement a penalty system for head starts like a drive through penalty or whatever. It does make the starts more realistic though in my view.
What do you guys think?

It'd be nice to do, but people would abuse it online, and resetting cars is something PD would never do.

Nice idea, I like it too, but the drawbacks would outweigh the benefits (it would get really frustrating, and people would abuse it as i said).

I´d love it. I made a thread regarding starter/ignition feature (including engine stalls if you don't do it properly) (ala GTR Evo), would be really cool when playing with a clutch, one would have to put more effort into the start. In real life the start is an important part of the race.

Could they just give a 5sec penalty for jump starts? What other option is there?

Oh yea, i forgot there are far more immature players on PS3 than PC.
