nice tactics lol... I just want a good time and the car seems to boogie so I'll try it. Also want to try it in custom and track mode.Depends on if you're racing competitively or just test and tune. The launch control isn't perfectly precise if you're trying to cut a good light (competition). Foot braking allows you to cut a light easier. If you're just trying to get a good time, then the reaction time doesn't matter at all, so you can make a sandwich at the light and launch 5s after it turns green if you want to
On a similar note, there's also some weird quirks with the launch control in that on some cars, it will randomly turn itself off. Mine did that to me a couple of times. If I were racing against a Hellcat, I'd bait him to stage first and set his LC and make him wait a bit to see if it screws up, then stage when his car gets out of LC just to throw him off his rhythm. Matter of fact, I try and do things like that anytime I'm up against a late model car with a similar LC feature.

Launch control @ 1000 RPM's in AUTO mode traction control on
When I do this on the street my car seems to hook pretty good and absolutely boogie. I'm wondering if I did this @ the track what the outcome would be? Why is footbraking better? I guess there is only way to find out.

I don't believe it changes the settings,,, sure I could search the topic but starting a new thread is fun too.When auto start is on (and it always is for classes running a sportsman tree) you only have 7 seconds to stage after 3 lights are lit. (Both cars pre staged, one staged). After that the computer gives whoever isn’t staged a red light
If you use the launch control on the display does it change your settings once the car is released? I KNOW it does with a tazer - talked with the guy that designed it and he explained how there is no way around everything going to default full on (tc and esc) once the button is released. Sucks the tazer launch does that because using a button is better than the brake pedal imo. My car 60’s best with everything off just driving it. Purdy sure if you search the topic that is the preferred method by most
so your saying there isn't a lot of time to get into the settings and properly execute the LC within 7 seconds. It is hard to get it activated in time.When auto start is on (and it always is for classes running a sportsman tree) you only have 7 seconds to stage after 3 lights are lit.

I just need to be able to get the runs in at the track that's not always so simple.I wouldn’t worry about searching the settings and the launch control. Track is entirely different than street. A clean chemical surface vs dirty asphalt. Car will leave hardest w foot brake. Once you figure it out and have a routine : )
