Within a year or two all new high-performance cars will have a form of electronic launch control. There are a few American cars with it already. Some are programmable (in terms of launch rpm), some are not. They work well, but generally will not out-perform an experienced driver.

Might as well sit in the stands and use your remote control transmitter. Is this drag racing or flying model airplanes. Might as well allow delay boxes and throttle stops while your at it.

You are right but it's not easy, just ask Nissan about the skyline theirs broke the trans-axle = class action lawsuits and recalls.

Just seen the commercial. You'll need traction control at that track.

Ralph,

I agree, it is not easy to design a system to do what we're going to ask these cars to do.

We've already got "throttle control". :D
