Rednecks Rejoice! 2010 Corvette gets a contraption called Launch Control!
 

check this out the 2010 corvette gets launch control. during the presentation the the GM engineer refers to the GT-R's launch control warranty hype twice with out "actually" sayin it


they are claiming 0-60 in 3.65 for the Z06 and encourage their customers to use it

nice... wonder what the GTR will get next - anti lag... lets see the vettes copy that

Really? Did you really just say that...

I lol'd at them referencing the voided warranties. I personally think that's great and if I had the cash I'd pick up a new Z06 in a heartbeat.

Umm and whats wrong with that? Yes I did really just say that lol... was being kinda funny but still a note of seriousness in there...

You aware of what an anti-lag system is? It basically keeps your turbos spooled even if you are off throttle... you would really say no to that in a GTR?

or you would get a new GTR which does not need to loose TC to launch

Thank you for informing me about something that I knew about for the years that I had an Evo.

You talk about wanting to see them copy antilag as if its some kind of magic that GM doesn't know how to use.

And not to mention, they don't use turbos (shy of the Cobalt SS) so why bring up anti lag of all things?

I think you answered your own question.

I'm not exactly sure, but I think the point was to say that if GM is going to copy Nissan then Nissan should just go with an idea that GM can't copy with their N/A v8.

Well c'mon, voiding your warranty from a factory feature on a car is uber lame in the first place, Chevy has a valid point to make fun of Nissan for doing it.

I agree. If it weren't for the transmission in the GT-R I would absolutely love it, but since they don't even allow a "true" m/t as an option I'm going to have to side with the ZR1.

Badass car? Yes. Would I buy one if I had the money? No.

Well thats all nice and good but nissan expected this so they created Mr Fusion and a flux compassitor to help out perform the competition!

LOL that was the whole point of it man... the fact that chevy uses an NA setup... hence why they couldnt copy it if nissan did it lol... jeez.. you need some humor in your life... and since when did Evos have antilag? And why would a GTR w/ antilag be bad?

can't wait for the busted trannies!!! jk jk jk

hopefully they learned something from the GT-R or else it's bankruptcy time.

Did I say the Evo had antilag? No. But an Evo has a turbo therefore antilag is a widely used thing (for those that enjoy killing their turbos sooner)

And do point out where I said a GTR with antilag would be bad?

No need for this thread to get serious...
