I tried this for the first time last night and................no...
Had no problem getting it to do it but the launch was so fricking slow..........lol!
For the first 10 feet it takes off just a little above idle...........
Is that right or is there something wrong with it?

I also believe if you take the gas pedal off the floor even just a little it shuts down the mode.

It is slow, and I was able to crack 1.7 60' times stock without it. But, my street tires hate my tune and mods, and I cannot hook at our track without LC. It gets consistent high 1.9 60' times, but now I don't run 12.8's with 2.4 60' times spinning tires for 300'. LOL. I could hit mid 11's on DR's without LC, but I don't own a set yet.

If it is bogging down you are powering braking it with the gas and brake pedal mashed , it is NOT in Competitive mode. you must verify the dash says " competitive mode " then wait one second minimum before you release the brake maintaint wot on the accelerator pedal and yeeaaa hhaaawwwww !! 1.7 60 fts on stock tires are where its at , your dash data performance center should give you 0-60 MPH in the 3.9 - 4.2 in a prepped track and 4.0-4.5 range on a no prep/ public street ( obey speed limits of course , and drive safely of course )

That is what mine is doing. No wheel spin to cause the slow takeoff.

On the other hand, I can beat LC every time launching manually.
Yep same here, I don't use LC I want to feel the torque on the tires. Allows me to gauge based on current conditions just how hard I can or cannot hit the throttle.

You can't feel that with LC and you put a lot of faith in electronics designed under a single condition and not various conditions/situations.

My car is not a 1LE I can't put faith in LC to know what to do after I switched from 275 rears to 305 rears.

All I know is my TC kicked in at 60mph shift points with 275 rear tires I knew I needed better and wider tires. And that was before my mods.

I don't expect LC to be tuned for that change.
