It's all about seat time and know the character traits of your car.
In stock tuned car's, GM places a lot of safety protocols into the factory tune to keep everything safe. Knowing what these values are will help you go a long way into maximizing the performance of your car on the track.
Launch control......I think it's a great tool for the novice who visit's the track on rare occassions, but IMHO, a seasoned owner with seat time would be able to outperform the LC features. This holds true for the Corvettes and GT500's as well.
FYI....I went to the track last Saturday. Saw a few 5th gens, but I think they were base V6 cars.
Even with DA's of 4660+ feet, I still ripped 11.50's in the 122-124 MPH traps speeds area on 1.70-1.80 60' short times in my C6 Z06 on drag radials.
On track weather station reported 94 degrees at 11:00 p.m.
