As if the line lock feature on the 2017 Chevy Camaro ZL1 wasn't sweet enough, the way it was revealed was even better. Running up the hill at the 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed, GM Global Lead for Product Development chief Mark Reuss stopped on the track, activated the function, and left the crowd "swaythed in factory rubber smoke" to quote the British announcers.

The function is activated through the launch control menu when the car is in Track mode and the transmission is in Drive or first gear. Once the line is activated in lock in the instrument cluster screen, the driver presses 80 pounds of pressure on the brake pedal. A status bar in the multifunction screen show a readout up to 100 percent. Then, mash the gas and light up the tires. The feature is intended for prepping for a drag strip run. But wait, there's more. Press both center buttons on the steering wheel pads - cruise control on the left and select on the right - and a rolling burnout kicks in. Line lock works for 15 seconds before cutting throttle.

Of course there are constraints. Steering wheel angle input or an open door will automatically deactivate line lock, so no ghost-riding this whip. And if you hit the gas before the brake pressure is fully applied, the electronic parking kicks on.

And a quote from Al Oppenheiser:

Sweet!

It does not look like line lock to me. You can see a small movement forward before it takes a set and does the burn out. A line lock would have prevented that slight movement forward.

Ya if I were a betting man I would say it's not going to have linelock. I've messed with the C7Z06 a ton and I haven't found it in there either.

While it would be neat to have, it's not really needed unless you plan on doing a lot of serious tracking/burnouts.

Al O himself said it will have custom launch control with line lock.

That seems like it's going to a) be super entertaining, and b) be shown endlessly in EVERY video review.

When I was waiting for my Hellcat I loved watching video reviews, but honestly the giggling burnouts got a bit old after a while.

I agree with OldJedi that their was no line lock used in the video, however, if this quote is accurate and it has the function of rolling burnouts....a progressive release of the line lock would save bystanders lives at the Cars n Coffee shows

Also, 15 seconds seems like a long time before throttle is cut ??!!??

If that really is the case, it's going to be awesome. Quite possibly one of the best, if not the best ways ever incorporated in a car. Can't wait to know for sure...

Sweet! Hopefully it trickles down to the standard SS!

Thank you for the link.. After that, there were some great other news articles and videos. I liked the "guess" that a new GM Halo car ( mid engine) won't be a Corvette and maybe a Caddy

Confused how this works on a manual... You can't push the brake 80% then mash the gas as its described, while still holding down the brake. You need to switch your feet.

So how would that workout?

This is......so. Freaking. Cool!

The way it works on Mustangs with a manual is that you start by requesting line lock with the steering wheel controls. Then you have to have your foot firmly on the brake pedal for a few seconds. After that you'll see confirmation on the dash display that line lock is engaged, so you can release the brake pedal and move your foot to the clutch to prepare for the burnout.
