It was the same way with my Corvette. It's not a bad system, but it can be outdriven.

Huh....I cut a 1.956 60ft on street tires with the M6 launch control. Which is the 2nd or 3rd best 60ft currently for a M6. This was on a prepped surface after a little burnout. I agree that a good driver could do better...but we're talking about hundredths of a second.

Launch control works OK with no prep...just slower.
