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

With all the new pictures floating around from Heather, Number3 and others I still have not seen a button on the dash to engage the launch control. Does anyone have any info on this? I tried to search, but saw nothing by way of a picture, just speculation.

EDIT I removed the multiple ? marks that everyone had somthing to say about

To request launch control, you must use onstar to contact NASA and request countdown status...

LOL beat me to it

If it is like the Vettes, I believe you just have to cycle the traction control button to the appropriate driving mode and let her rip.

Found a picture, now we just need to see the button on the dash to make this happen

y'all're hilarious!

too bad i'm deleting OnStar

really, i would imagine it's in one of the DIC menus, but it would be easier to just have a button.

hopefully this won't blow our transmissions like some other epic failure of a car

Let me guess. You will not be ignored. We know already

I don't know how you engage the launch control....I simply couldn't resist responding to a thread with 15 question marks in the title.

Now, does anyone know what it does???????????????(don't count, it's 15) I believe a friend with an HHR explained that it sets the optimum RPM (not selectible?) even though the accelerator is floored, and controls fuel flow for a few monents after launch so max power is not immediately sent to the tires. Correct?

EDIT: There were 15, I swear!

Aw... KITT knows better... don't touch that button.. Michael.... (Stabilitrak AI joke).

duallyss · 12-28-2008, 02:42 PM

if the launch control is any thing like the one in my cobalt it will be a waste of time. unless you like burn outs. all the cobalt does with it either massive wheel hop or a huge burn out..... but thats all so stupid front wheel drive.
