Sometimes thats not an option if there are impatient people behind you but its not an issue here.

A lot of times mine will stall out on a flat surface without throttle. My civic si takes off on a hill much easier than this car does on a flat surface and it has over 400hp less. It’s going to the dealer on Monday so I’ll see if they can do anything.

Most of my other cars - BMW 135i, Z4 3.0i, E93 M3 - had more normal 1st gear ratios and would easily creep at 5 MPH or less. Especially the M3 with an 8,400 RPM redline V8 had very short gearing. This makes launching MUCH EASIER.
- Of course, there's the other factors - smooth, progressive clutch, any electronic nannies trying to lower emissions, dual mass flywheel, etc.

I think the electronics prevent smooth launching. This was never an issue in the 5th gen ZL1. GM already said that the car was tuned to protect the drivetrain. I guess they assumed everyone who has a ZL1 is going to launch it full speed at every single stop sign and street light lol
