Do a google search for
Camaro6 ZL1 m6 bog and you'll get dozens of threads. The primary issue is that the Torque Management nanny that will protect the drive train from the driver. There's also a clutch over temp nanny that will protect itself from you too.
These nannies are so aggressive that you will have a very hard time driving the car in 1st gear from a dead stop without thinking you're stalling the car. Let the clutch out too fast and TM nanny will cut throttle to keep you from torque-spiking the drive train. Let it out too slow, and the clutch over temp nanny will cut throttle to keep you from burning it up. There's an infinitesimally small window where you can do it just right that Al speaks of in the ask-Al response (copy/pasted from the last link below).

Al's Answer:
With respect to “bogging” on high traction surfaces, due to the stickiness of the tires and the tall first gear ratio, we drag the engine down once clutch is fully engaged. Currently we only use throttle and spark during pre-launch phase to control to requested engine speed which limits how quickly we can recover boost. We understand that a particular launch may result in a “bogging” condition, but much of that can be eliminated by practicing different styles of clutch ‘dumping’. See the answer below on how we achieve our quarter mile times to see the effects of different launch styles. One thing to note, that may not be obvious to the customer, is that the clutch release is still fairly quick - too slow of a clutch release will result in exiting of launch control and the engine reducing torque for clutch protection.

So Al basically says: Learn to Drive. Good luck hitting it just right.
