It's the same way. Hard brake. Blip the throttle fast. Before rpms catch up. If youre looking at the dash instead of the road you will see a L pop up during the launch. Wouldn't recommend that though.
Also, according to Tom at DSC it's 0-20mph, not a certain number of feet. At 21mph it goes back to normal.

New update is great- no more wallowing. Sport might be too stiff, but that's easy enough to adjust.

Guys, I installed the DSC controller V4 few weeks ago.

I have some concerns. I don't have any error messages on the dash but when I do a scan I have several errors showing up :

U0139 Lost of communication with suspension controle module A
U0421 Incorrect data received from suspension module B

Other than that the car is behaving pretty good, though I was disapointed with heavy braking on high frequency bumps in track mode. In my last AutoX there was a hard braking before and in a left turn. Everytime my front shocks went rock solid and I lost my front. The other guys had more or less same issue with standard shocks but I would have thought magneride would have done better here...

Made me wonder if the dsc is working fine.

I did some log on it and it worked but was incredibly slow and sometimes showed weird values for the TPS for example....

Hi! I also have and M7 car, is there any indication Launch Control is activated? After the blip do you happen to know how long you have to initiate the launch? Do you hold the revs higher after the blip then release the clutch fast or do you just drive like normal but just do it harder and faster? thanks in advance!

Thanks for the post! Is this for a v2 controller or something else?

So I got tractive coilovers + DSC controller on my Viper. Viper guys have the same exact wallowing complaints.
I got mine from very good Viper suspension tuner/road race expert, and its great with his tune, but everyone seemed to have the same complaints Corvette owners (and I) did.
