dynamic mode launch control

I don't believe launch control ever worked on the pre '16 Rs or V8Ss since they had more than enough power even at a low torque converter stall speed to exceed available traction and light up the tires. Would certainly have value though, on the AWD cars.

When you say it didn't work, what didn't happen? The torque converter stall speed didn't increase, or you couldn't get the tires to light up?

As does my 2015 V6S. I'm not so sure my neighbors appreciated my testing it out tonight - and I have used it before - and I did notice that one has to gently depress the accelerator and not push the revs too high or Launch Control appears to deactivate***. With that note of caution, fun stuff.
***I just went for a quick romp and played with Launch Control a number of times (in the interest of science) and I'm not so sure Launch Control is necessarily deactivated with revs increasing but the words Launch Control do disappear. As did I down the road a number of times...

my mistake was I was pressing the gas too much. this 'discovery' gives me the kick I was craving. let me know if any of you guys try it after reading this and what your thoughts are
