All Wheel Drive? Launch Control?

Hmmm in wonder how much difference it makes, i have rwd, but rarely us it either, nvr power braked b4 though

Try it, I know I still get nervous even after 50+ passes staging and trying to setup LC while the other guy is waiting. Honestly, I usually screw it up, so I just stopped using it and power braked instead. The key with RWD (assuming track prep is good) is finding that groove and you RPM where you MAX hook without spin. AWD is simple lol

Tried out the launch control for the first time last night..needless to say, not real impressed with it. Not much difference from just mashing the pedal from a stop. I think if it was set at 3K instead of 2K it would be better.

Or put a different way, the car gets up and goes without the need for any tricks or additional processes needed.

I've not tried launch control, as I'm more interested in the kick once the car is at passing speed, and carving corners, but I have no complaints with off the line speed, which I'll rarely push.

I am going to try and brake torque it next. I guess the only way to do that would be to leave the traction control on or switch it to custom mode so the LC doesn't go active.

Result:
AWD preferred for daily driving
RWD for max performance due weight advantage.
On dry road no difference but if you live somewhere with a lot of rain and/or snow you will be able to use the HP’s more often

Post back what you find out. I have a feeling the car's ECU will pull power and leave the car bogged down at the 1-1500 RPM range.
