I’ve tried it for a while on my ‘23, and it usually blows the tires away, bogs, or both. I’ve tried auto and various custom settings as well. I found that setting it to ~2500 with ~6.5% slip can sometimes get it to 3.9.

Today, I just gave up and launched it myself with the TC still on and got a 3.8 on the first try, and I’m no hotshoe on launches. I got 3.8-4.0 on several non-LC attempts, I found the best so far to be a 4000RPM start, quick clutch release, and keep the RPM from dropping below 2500. I’m trying find a decent method to keep from slipping the clutch, I’ve noticed it doesn’t take hardly any slipping for it to smell.

My car doesn’t have the surface type setting like some that I’ve seen on here, I’m guessing that’s no longer available. My options are automatic LC, or custom with RPM and slip % only. The car is 100% stock for now, I’m trying to avoid dropping tire pressure from normal to the drag race recommendation in the HPM. I drive hundreds of miles at a time when I do take the car, so I keep tire pressure at the door sticker recommendation. Any tips on launching, whether with or without LC? Thanks for any advice.

EDIT: I have seen that LC works as a 2-step and builds boost, so that’s probably just too much for stock tires. Maybe someone out there has a better idea than me.

The M6 doesn’t have an adjustable launch control. The A-10 has it so you can adjust the launch rpm etc. Do you have a M6 or a A-10?
