launch Control is for use at the drag strip.
Shut off traction control via 2 clicks on the button. Smoke the tires.
Then enable launch like STINGmole indicated: Push the clutch pedal to the floor, push the throttle to the floor (and it will rev to a pre-set RPM, then dump the clutch and shift to 2nd as normal.
Launch control is ONLY active in 1st gear. Once you shift, you are on your own. There's been many C7s wrecked right after the shift to 2nd because of uncontrolled (by driver) traction issues.
Timer: If you have not found the timer or gotten it installed by the dealer, the following ling contains information on the service update.
FYI - When I was at Spring Mountain launch control with both M7 & A8 were impressive with M7 actually spinning tires less than auto. Could have just been the difference in drivers, tires, etc.
