Guys.. Are your best times with launch control or without?
Was using launch control, but car just spun....too much power???
Or do I still need to feather that pedal at launch???
Got to be honest love the feature. Im just finding myself still having to lift off gas?? Advice.
Thanks

You can't lift if you want it to function as designed. I know that it seems like its going to the moon, but just make sure to follow the instructions in the manual. Now, as to your original query. A seasoned driver can launch better than the computer. Finding that optimal procedure is what we all are attempting. Well at least those of us who actually run their cars.
