I did some tests recently and it seems the systems have a rather short timeout once activated. I believe it was 10 seconds for both torque reserve and the launch control system (once activated by throttle input).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.
