I believe some timing is being played with. The car just accelerates a lot harder. Free wheeling it, the tires balloon a lot more with launch control then with out.

So here's my idea:

Incorporate a launch control with timing adjustment.

Make it so holding brake for a certain amount of time puts the ESC into launch mode. Then in the hotwire, ad a launch control slider. I don't really know what kind of timing adjustments are beneficial at launch. I have a feeling that just a set amount of timing is good. Maybe a ramp is needed, I don't know.

Just an idea.
So far i have no Launch problem with my RS pro. All my launch was way faster then the LRPs with Launch controls, to a point if i tighten the rear diff too much i can actually pop a slight wheelie.
From what i see the power given out from the RS pro is like when you want is where you want it.

my 2 cents.
