Yeah at the track I foot brake it, I'll hold the brake and bring it up to 2k RPMs then pop off he brake and quickly ease into the throttle.
Still looking for a better 60ft though. I was also concerned this might cause damage to the drive line over time.
Thought if there were launch control it might be safer.

Regarding the nannies, here is something that's been bothering me. I owned a 99 Z28 M6 that car felt like it was giving me all the power it had with the traction control off. My L99 even with everything switched completely off still feels like it's holding power back in first gear compared to my 99 LS1 Z28. The chassis handling and braking are worlds better on the 5th gen but imo it feels a little too civilized at times, too much of the muscle car rawness of the 4th gen is gone.
The car should be a little louder and have more punch in first gear in its stock form.
