Custom Launch Control - Stingray??
2025 Stingray with Z51 and Mag-ride. Can the launch control be customized to adjust launch RPM and clutch slip% or is this feature limited to the Z06? Manual only says "If equipped" and I can not find a screen that allows for customization. I can not figure out how to access it. Launch control is easy to bring up and I can set time for starting and finish speed, but not RPM or slip adjustment.

1. You may not be in PTM, you must be in PTM and at least Sport mode chosen. I have this setup with the Z button. Have all your options set to track except for PTM. That has to be in Sport, Race 1 or Race 2. The options to have in track mode is personal preference. I have them set that way for track day. Once the Z mode is setup, press the Z button twice. That puts it in PTM and whatever mode you have chosen. Mine is Sport, you can see it in one of the pics.
2. Scroll to the Performance section on the DIC. Scroll down to Launch Control. If you see the check mark below that for options, then you have done it correctly. Press the thumbwheel on the right side of your steering wheel. Anytime you see a check mark in the DIC and you want to select it, press the thumbwheel on the right side of your steering wheel.
3. After pressing the thumbwheel., the options should be there. Make your selections and press the thumbwheel to confirm.
I hope this helps.

Got it! The car has to be in Drive or Manual, (basically ready to launch). The check mark showed and pressing the thumbwheel took me to the options for RPM and Slip adjustment. Thank you again.
