Jeff, you are correct about mechanical grip. My Mustang (which is a no-option 2016 with a manual) came with Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires stock. The grip from them is insane--both during acceleration and cornering. My point about the launch control is that it removes the driver's skill from getting the car going. Every Mustang made in the past few years can make 100% use of the available traction every time. On my manual Mustang, the launch control will control the throttle, clutch, and engine power.
