Jeez. Way to look a gift horse in the mouth. I have first hand experience with launch control and offered my opinion. You don't like it, that's your problem and I'm sorry for you. I wasn't even responding to you, as I said, I didn't read the whole thread.
You want to know what it is and isn't? It isn't a gummy bear or shag carpeting, nor a teacup yorkie. It allows you to simulate a clutch dump on a manual transmission. Revs to 5k rpm and engages the torque converter as soon as the brake pedal is released. It then limits the amount of power applied to the wheels to minimize wheel spin. Both of these put stress on the transmission. And it's useless on a car like this. I launch better without it.
