Mode Only)
A Launch Control feature is
available, within Competitive Driving
Mode (except Z51 and Z06 with
Magnetic Ride Control) or
Performance Traction Management
(Z51 and Z06 with Magnetic Ride Control), on all vehicles to allow the
driver to achieve high levels of
vehicle acceleration in a straight
line. Launch Control is a form of
traction control that manages tire
spin while launching the vehicle.
This feature is intended for use
during closed course race events
where consistent zero to
60 and quarter mile times are
desirable.
Launch Control is only available
when the following criteria are met:
.Competitive Driving Mode is
selected (except Z51 and Z06
with Magnetic Ride Control) or
any of the Performance Traction
Management modes are
selected (Z51 and Z06 with
Magnetic Ride Control). The
TCS light comes on the

the engine rpm to stabilize.
A smooth, quick release of the
clutch, while maintaining the fully
pressed accelerator pedal, will
manage wheel slip. Complete shifts
as described in Manual
Transmission on page 9-32.
