I have and it's not very good at the drag strip. On a normal street surface, I've found it can be pretty good, but on a prepped surface I can do a much better job myself.

Yes, they do. Put it in Sport or Track mode. Click the traction control button twice to put the system in "competitive mode." Then, any time your stopped, in first gear with the clutch in, you can put the accelerator pedal to 100% and engine speed will go to ~4500 RPM, let the clutch out and the system will try to manage wheel spin.
Like mentioned above, it hasn't worked well at the track. It either bogs or spins too much and kills the run. I never use it anymore since my method described in the post above is consistently better. Try it out for yourself though - maybe you'll have better luck with it than I did.
With that said, I've found it to be really good (in some cases) on a normal street surface.
