My car is not at that level (Audi R8 V10 Plus Gen 2) but yes, they have Launch Control. I'm not a drag racer but have launched the car manually and with the computer control. My best 0-60 2.6 vs the computer 2.4. I figure that the computer works its magic considering spin on each tire, deciding on torque transfer fr/rr, etc.
More fun to do it manually. I have the ability to switch every driver's aid through a "secret" combination of switch presses.
Drag racing is the new thing. Hard to drive anywhere without someone trying to race you on the traffic lights.
