There is a very good reason why you have to do it quickly. The car has a torque converter which when you have accelerator and brake on heats it up quite rapidly! Anyone than 3 seconds and we would have blown transmissions from people sitting on launch control at stop lights waiting.

It's a gimmicky feature. The car launches itself just fine without it. But if it sells even a few cars? It's just software.
