Launch control without PTM

Getting into launch control mode with a mag ride car is easy, but on my 15 z51 non mag ride car it doesn't seem possible. Is it?

Launch

You have to hammer the brake like an emergency stop and then the accelerstor to the floor takes a little practice to get it right

Of course it wants to move forward...that's why you must push brake as hard as you can. NORMAL

Have you put the car in Track mode and then pressed the button twice to turn off TC and stabiatrack off and put the car in Competitive mode your dash should display this if you are doing this right in the center of the speedometer. Then stand on the brake as hard as you can . Depress the gas pedal to the floor , the converter will flash to 2100, 2500 and then settle at 1800 , depend on temperature once it settles let your foot off the brake and hang on
