Launch control=manuals only
BUt in the manual, you press traction control button twice (not too sure about that) then fully depress the clutch, floor the accelerator and then dump the clutch and your gone.

Someone said they babied it and didn't floor the accelerator and it almost broke it. The second and third time he made sure the pedal was stuck to the floor and it worked perfectly. I forget which post it was.

Is the gas pedal an electro mechanical like the newer vettes? It would look like it has a little box on the base.
