launch control isn't the quickest way to launch. You're right. Over on the css.net the guys over there have been getting quicker 1/4 times by not using launch control but by simply feathering the clutch (or doing it the old fashion way...

) or holding at a lower RPM and launching.
All launch control does is allow you to rev up to like 5k plus RPM's, dump the clutch and go.... which doesn't get the best traction that way.... (and isn't the best for your cluth/trans) lol but neither is feathering the clutch...
