2026 C8 Z51 Launch Procedure
The new dash has me confused. What are the actual steps, one by one, to launch my vehicle. I see the graphics for brake and throttle but my throttle does not ramp up and sounds like flooding is going on. Does anybody understand what I'm missing? Idaho RayZin

Did you activate launch control using the toggle to the left of the steering wheel? If so, it should tell you to come to a stop and "Brake harder" until the brake pressure is enough. Then, you floor it, then release the brake pedal.

Put it in track and turn off traction control and stab control with the button next to launch control. Then select launch control and when it says press break do so, then floor it and release brake. The buttons are below the new for '26 left screen.
