launch control tests

Tested out launch control a few times today but still notice alot of wheel spin.
Also notice the left tire spun more than the right. Pavement wasnt totally even or same texture either.

Any input on this?

Worked good lastnight at track.
Wasnt as much wheel spin at track but still need more practice with this rocket.

Best time was a 13.8 at 107mph.

i hate the launch control. i thought it wud have been good to have. but with nitrous it can cause blowback because it puts t/c back on after like 30mph. also if u try a 1500-2000 rpm drop and play with the gas u can actually get a better time. thats just my opinion

Be really careful with the one wheel spinning. Did this more than a few times and destroyed the rear (clutches)... just sayn

A highly skilled driver could potentially beat the launch control system by a bit, the vast majority of drivers will find themselves getting of the line much more quickly and with markedly better consistency. All this, with a full factory warranty!

Launch control sucks. Just hold the TC button down for seven seconds, take your RPM's up to 4500, dump the clutch and hold on to your Titties!!! So much fun...

Haha I think I'm going to have to try this! I've had my 1SS M6 for 10 months and last night was the first time I tried out the LC
