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. ?
So, just the subframe supports eliminated your wheel hop completely?

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?
Hey Go,

You are correct, leave it on and have fun!

In all of the 15's I have driven, launch control never goes off; only traction control :lol:

Have a blast and let me know if you need anything!

Question:

I leave mine on, but every time I try to use it, it does not work. Unless, I try it immediately after turning it on. What conditions need to be met to use it when leaving it active in the background?

Set your rpm and smash on the gas pedal.

That might be why, I've been easing onto the pedal.

Does the the gt premium only have launch control?
No, it has the whole Track Apps suite. Launch control, timers, line lock, etc.

My GT PP gets great traction already, so no real need for this.

Launch control is worthless on stock tires and on the street, so dont get too excited people.
