Launch Control and 0-60 Timer/PDR
I've done a few runs with the launch control in sport 1 and track PTM modes and the best 0-60 (according to DIC) I have gotten so far is 4.9. What kinds of times are you guys getting on the street? I wouldn't expect the 3.8 magazine time off-track but would hope for low 4's on pavement.
Interesting though, one run I had the PDR timer on also and the PDR 0-60 was .3 seconds faster than the DIC. What gives? Which is correct? Not sure how accurate the DIC is, has anybody compared it to a drag strip timer?

His post was one of the reasons I went back to try to figure out where it was on my '16... The '16's are relegated to using the PDR to get this and if you don't have a PDR, you are out of luck. Unless we get enough folks to complain to GM to add it back to the DIC.

This guy got his '14 in 3.5 seconds!

I sure hope the PDR timer is accurate. Here's a really nice launch on the side of a road in a heat socked 2015 C7 auto. I was very happy with a 3.6 on hot day and I'm hoping to make some passes at Royal Purple during the winter months when the DA is in the negatives. What I was doing was experimenting with launch control. The 'book' says to stand on the brake in a panic brake mode and floor the accelerator, which is everything against any drag racing I've ever done at the strip in other automatics.

I've only tried track and sport 1 PTM modes. I'll try sport 2 but I would be surprised if that made that much of a difference.

I'm new to the C7, but I think if you hit the right paddle, the gear number turns yellow and activates no lift shift.

I should probably read the book.
