Do leave "Launch Control" active all the time?

[GoBlues38]

I have only used it 2 or 3 times in the first month i have had the car. At first I was going in and turning it on and off each time.

Last week I was playing around and just left it on. Noticed that now at any stop light I can use it if I want.

Any reason to not just leave it on, for that time when I need / want it?

Sounds like some people are confusing Launch control with traction control. If your referring to Launch control that you can enable in the settings, then that's good if your tires can't grip at high RPM launches. So you would use that if your not good at controlling your RPM's before dropping the clutch. I have mine enabled because I'm on base 18" wheels/tires so I do get a lot of spin if I try to drop the clutch. Mine is set to 3l.

how do you turn that shit on?? I got to the menu where it lets me choose the RPM and I do, and then I try to press OK and nothing happens...

need to figure this shit out for the drag strips later on this summer :-)

My LC is ALWAYS turned on and I switch between sport mode and totally off for the advancetrac. I don't drive my car in the rain.

Wait. What? Launch control stays on until you turn it off - even after shutting the car off?

Wow. I am going to have to set this up and give it a try. Recommended rpm for stock PP equipped GT?

Yes... I have mine set at 3k, still on stock tires and stock springs with the Steeda sub frame aluminum supports. Launching at 3k I have no tire hop and my tires just barely make noise in either sport mode or advancetrac totally off. You might be able to launch higher with the drop springs and aftermarket tires since your car MIGHT avoid the tire hop. ?
