I think you are on to something. I'll see how the weather is tomorrow (it's snowing now) and in the interest of science I'll give it a try. I've been waiting to try the launch control anyway.

 

In interest of science today I got my first chance to ply with the launch control. It is a big lough Push the button twice and the "Louch Control" show in the info display. Push the throttle down and the tack goes up to 4100 RPMs, and bounces up and down a 100+-RPMs. Pop the clutch and the wheels start spinning and will stay spinning until you lift.

This car needs bigger and sticker tires to allow it to use all the power and tourque.

I've read 4 "first drive" articles, I don't know what car with what tires Chevy took to Phoenix for press day in December, but I'm sure it was a different package than the have in production.

I also tried a full throttle acculeration with one depression of the little button, I get a lot more wheel spin. I need to take some time to figure out just what happens when.

You asked "Does the DIC say anything when you experience the switching" the answer is NO.

The car is a screemer, far more power that a sane person could use but no one ever siad I was sane

Stay touned for in, the interest of science, more testing.

 

Outdoor temps make a big difference in some tires "stickiness", and may be some of what you have experienced. My summer car will spin the tires at 50 mph when its below 45 degrees, but hooks great above 55 or so. What was the temp out when you have been doing some of your testing?
