I do believe that this sight has alot to do with getting gm to jump on this problem quickly and I gain some respect back for them over that. Do you think this has anything to do with weight of car? That alot more to get moving then the corvette.

Some thoughts:
Go to a drag-strip and watch some people in their cars--
I saw a guy do a burnout (by accident I'd hope...) in REVERSE!
Launch control can maximize times in many cases.
HOWEVER -- you CAN turn the launch control off.....and when you do, some will hit the rev limiter and then just "dump" the clutch.....
......and THEN there are the 'burn-out' contests....(esp. from those who don't know what they're doing...)
.........and then there are the performance mods that have been done --
........so all I'm saying is this: Don't dump the clutch -- it's not a good thing to do no matter what you drive.......
