Launch Control Help

[Moogatwo]

I can't get my launch control to work and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have it engaged, clutch and throttle all the way down. It'll hold the revs but when I get off the clutch it just over revs and I go nowhere. I've done it in the Focus RS and it was as simple as side stepping the clutch so I'm not sure what I'm missing? All the videos online make it look so easy!

This!!
Cars got to be in gear to move.

OK, that's just mean.

It is in gear! It's gotta be how I'm getting off the clutch. Is there some trick to it? I only tried twice. First time i side-stepped like the RS and the second time I eased off, but no luck.

GT350 is not a drag queen. Launch control is a recipe for wheel hop and broken axels IMHO. Best launch is vigorous roll off and stand on it.

Is the clutch pedal coming up? Possibly the pressure plate is sticking.

At the track attack they have everyone use LC set at 6k rpm. Did get some wheel hop before it finally hooked up

I would maybe set a little lower (~ 4500 rpm) since SLC is > 4,000' elevation. I felt like the cars were a little down in power compared to closer to sea level. Plus I would want to be a little more conservative with my own car. YMMV

Is the traction control on?
I mean are you just spinning wheels?
The moment you let off the clutch, the throttle will go to 100%. It does not hold the rpm like before you let off the clutch.
