Launch Control with Drag Radials?
Has anyone with an M7 tired launch control with drag radials? I have some and want to try it because on the stock tires, launch control was useless for me. Would spin way too much and get a 5.0+ 0-60 every time.
Figure with DR's it may actual hook. I'm having a bit of trouble testing though because of a recent disaster my small city is packed with people and extra police and my car can be heard for probably 15 blocks haha.

The key with a stick is to not shock the tires. Once you shock them and they start spinning you are done. You need to initially engage before full release even with a drag radial. The suspension on the corvette is not conducive to a big throttle clutch dump, you just don't have the travel/motion to absorb it.
This is a road race car from the ground up.
