I tried launch control on a metered on-ramp a few weeks ago (only went up to approx the speed limit
 ) and was surprised how much the rear end bucked. I'm sure the people waiting in line behind me were surprised as well

Guess not all of us care about break-in of our engines.
Cool vid though.

Isn't launch control disabled until after the break in service anyway?

Glad you had a friend do the videotaping from the passenger seat while you launched. Some doofus a while back launched one-handed while taping with the other hand and posted it on here. Managed not to hit anything or anyone, but it was nerve wracking to watch the shaky video.
