How much better would the ZR-1 had done if it had Launch Control to limit wheelspin.....

All the other 3 cars in this group had launch control no wonder why the ZR-1 is the slowest at the start.

With launch control it would beat this cars even easier...

I thought the zr1 had a launch control mode also.. I thought i read somewhere if it detects a certain amount of revs at a standstill, it would adjust the shocks in the rear so that it would have miminum wheelhop,etc..

yeah but that is different than the launch control that the other cars have...

In case of the zr-1 it softens the rear shocks to transfer more weight to the rear wheels...

With the other cars the launch control limits the rpm's at which you can launch a car and the system controls the torque to the rear wheels to limit wheelspin to a minimun...
