Launching WITH traction control
I know, its almost sacriligous to even ask this question! 
But where I live, leaving a patch can be considered display of speed (read BIGTIME ticket :eek: ) so sometimes I launch with it on.
Just wondering if anyone has played with this and come up with a good launch point for a 6 speed. I've found dropping the clutch at 2k works pretty well. Anyone else?

Re: Launching WITH traction control (SUVHater)
On the street, all my systems are active but I rarely do hard launches.
At the track I tend to go back and forth between Comp Mode and shutting everything off. In this enviorment, the best place to launch is just above idle. I tried 2500 once and got a terrible 60 foot time...somewhere around 2.5
Hope this helps...

Re: Launching WITH traction control (ledfoot)
How do you turn everything off? I only seem to have active handling off and competition mode.
I would appreciate information on how to turn everything off on a 2001 vette.

Re: Launching WITH traction control (reddon)
reddon, hit button once turns eveything off ( active handling and traction control) after starting car up hit and hold button 5 seconds gets you to comp driving ( has active handling but no traction control)
