They should have made this car to function with launch control without breaking. If they're going to include launch control, they need to make it so that the axels don't snap like twigs while using it.

I work at a GM dealer and this should definitely be covered under warranty.

Never use launch control. Best thing to do is forget the car has it. It will break all kinds of parts.

so if you drag the car, do you just put it in competitive mode and run normal?

Covered 100% Dealership said it's not the first that they have seen and the service manager suggested that I upgrade to level 5 1400hp+ axles if I plan on putting on the maggie 2300. Though I have decided to stop upgrading my car and waiting about another 9 months and get a ZL1
