Default Launch Control Question

Does anyone know if the launch control feature in the C8 is limited in any way. I know in certain cars (some Audis for example) that the ECU limits the number of times launch control can be performed. Was wondering if this was the same on the C8

Pretty sure you can beat it to death if you so choose. This car rips so hard, I always have a bad feeling it's going to hurt itself, not joking.

Want to try this same test and report back? You know, for science of course 😂

Definitely holding out for an answer on this one, as far as powertrain warranty goes.

No, there are no limitations on the number of times you can do it. As long as you follow the operational directions, and maintain the car according to factory specs, if you break it, Chevy will fix it for 5 years. (powertrain).
