Hard launches are hard on the car. Use them with discretion and understand you're adding additional stress that may cause a failure that may not be covered under warranty.

If the car is 100% stock wouldn't any malfunctions or broken parts have to be covered under warranty? That is the whole point to maintaining a stock vehicle not to mention the entire benefit of having launch control on a stock vehicle.

sure the car will be stock and you can keep a warranty but it will still be hard hard on your drivetrain and it doesnt mean that it will break before your warranty is up either.
