Just realized that there is a launch control function on the manual cars also.
I always knew that with traction control on and the car stationary you could push the accelerator to the floor and the engine would only rev to around 4000rpm, but with it turned off the engine would rev to the redline.
With traction control on the launch would just bog down as the electronics did its thing.
Today I tried all the above, but with the revs stable at 4000 with the foot flat to the floor, I turned off the traction control and the revs remained at 4000, then just a matter of dumping the clutch and away you fire.
