Default Launch control

I finished the break in period for my new Z06 and wanted to try launch control. I tried it by putting the car in Track mode and hitting the traction control button twice and on the screen it set Wet mode. Can someone tell me the correct way to utilize launch control on my Z06. Thank you.

Try sport mode and then hit traction control twice. The screen should then read “Competition mode”.

You'll get better suggestions on the Z06 sub forum.

Someone come on a C8 forum and asks a question about his Z06? That right there is just bragging.

Sometimes people don't know about the sub-forums and are just looking for information. I check the C8 forum because there is information that is relevant to my Z06. Not bragging, just looking for information. It does make sense to direct them to the C8Z forum, however.
