Default Launch Control

I'm considering purchasing a used 2009 ZO6 which is not equipped with MRC nor dual mode exhaust. Was launch control offered this year in the ZO6 or did that come later? Thanks.

As far as I know, it got introduced in 2010 along with the new Bosch ABS and brake electronics.

I think the dual mode exhaust was stock on all C6 Z06's, so if you do not have it you must have an aftermarket exhaust (some of those have dual mode, but some do not).

Dual mode exhaust was on my 09 Z06 but launch was not. If the Z06 your looking at does not have the dual mode exhaust it has been modified. .

I'll check out the exhaust more closely when I go back to look at it. I didn't see RPO NPP on the build sheet, neither was F55, MRC which I believe is a desirable option for these cars if I'm not mistaken.

F55 (mag suspension) was not available in 09 (for the Z06).

Since all Z06 (06-13) came with dual mode exhaust as part of the Z06 package, I don't believe there was a separate RPO showing NPP.

look inside the exhaust for the valve, and look on the center console for the round dial for f55.
