    It's a little bit more technical than that but needs a long explanation, which may bore some people.

    I have launch control on my RWD race car, and tried it, but after a little bit of practise I can launch far better without it. As long as I can get the tyres up to temp on the warmup lap, I can usually launch off the line damn near as good as the 4WD evo's etc in my class.

    i do agreed with wat he say because with the limiter on i would have to try and error to get the optimum rpm for me to set the limiter... and that thing although called as launch control the more i look at it , the more i think it is just a simple rev limiter with a switch to swap between 2 modes...

    Only problems I've ever had with launch controls that continue to work after launch like you describe is when Heel-toeing on a nice sweeper, Noting worse than a clutch switch that forces my rpms down when I need them up :|
