Launch Control on L99? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Scott@Bjorn3D · 03-12-2009, 09:27 AM

I have read here and heard from another guy the L99 would have it. But does it really have it?

Does anybody know or possible Fbodfather let us know?

Thanks

Scott

the only cars with launch control are the manual SS models (LS3).

Croathlete · 03-12-2009, 09:41 AM

I thought I also heard from a member here that saw the car in person that Launch Control was available on the Auto...

zebra · 03-12-2009, 09:42 AM

that would be news to me. not saying it ain't... but the original plan was for just the LS3s

Me too! I do remember someone claiming the auto also had launch control. Not that it matters to me

Last I heard it was on the LS3 only.

ChevyBoiSS · 03-12-2009, 09:52 AM

yeah he said tap a button, hold brake while pushing accelerstor and u would take off

Scott@Bjorn3D · 03-12-2009, 09:53 AM

Yeah that is what I was told, but alot of folks say no. I wish we could get a answer from Scott or somebody on this.

I think its performance mode in the stabilitrak settings. Hold the brake and give a little gas and release brake for a controlled launch. I'll see if I can dig up a post.

heres that post...linkage

spi · 03-12-2009, 10:03 AM

so is there a difference between the launch control and the Stablitrac?

what? hold the brake to keep still, push the accelerator to reach desired launch rpm, and tap the trans into first? that sounds a lot like a good regular launch.

according to the dealer training vids, the traction control/stabilitrac system had 4 modes:
TC/SC on - that's the default
TC off, SC on
TC off, SC in sport mode (for track-style driving)
TC/SC off

yes. stabilitrac helps keep the car on the road around corners and such. launch control lets you mash the gas to the floor & it holds a set rpm until you drop the clutch in 1st. it's for more consistent launches with a manual
