Thanks. Looks like it works just fine on this sad day for GM.
What are the technicals on the new system? How does it work, especially with manual transmission?

Would it be possible for this system to be fitted to the 05-09 base and Z06 models? Hopefully there will be a kit available that will alow the older cars to have this function.

Re: 2010 launch control video ( taken here at the dealer)

To engage the launch control system, the driver puts the traction control into competitive mode and then pushes the gas pedal to the floor. The system will hold a predetermined RPM based on which engine you have (LS3/LS7/LS9). When the driver quickly releases the clutch, the launch control modulates engine torque 100 times per second to get the best traction.

There will be no retrofit kits.
