Launch control
I recently go my C7 and I love it. So many good things to say about it. I have an automatic and have been trying to figure out the launch control. Am sure it is simple but I want to use it at the dragstrip.
Can someone tell me how to get into launch control with an automatic.
Thanks for your help.

It's in the Owner's Manual section 9-45.

Launch Control (Track Mode Only)
A Launch Control feature is available, within Competitive Driving Mode (except Z51 with Magnetic Selective Ride Control) or Performance Traction Management (Z51 with Magnetic Selective Ride Control), on all vehicles to allow the driver to achieve high levels of vehicle acceleration in a straight line.
Automatic Transmissions
The brake pedal must be firmly pressed to the floor, equivalent to a panic brake event.
. The accelerator pedal is rapidly applied to wide open throttle. (If the vehicle rolls due to wide open throttle, release the throttle, press the brake pedal more firmly, and re-apply the accelerator to wide open throttle.)
The Launch Control feature will initially limit engine speed as the driver rapidly applies the accelerator pedal to wide open throttle. Allow the engine rpm to stabilize.
A smooth, quick release of the brake pedal, while maintaining the fully pressed accelerator pedal, will manage wheel slip.
