It is known as Launch Control and all you have to do is read the Owner's Manual to see how it is done. GM put it Corvettes in 2010 to compete with BMW, Porsche and other high end cars so it has been around for a while. As long as you keep your right to the floor on the shift it will work. Chicken out and lift your foot and it drops out of Launch Control because there is no way for the car to know why you lifted your foot.

That is no lift shifting or speed shifting if done at the right rpm eliminates the use of the clutch, This can only be done on a roll. The launch control is a from a dig or a stop, you rev engine drop clutch and traction controls and stabilization take over and the computer controls the lanch after that.

So the no lift shift aka power shift does work without engaging launch control? The computer still holds rpm? Or are you just saying it's possible to do it but the computer won't intervene to make it "safer" to no lift shift unless launch control was used? That's the way I understood it but would be happy to be wrong on this.
