You forgot to mention that if the Stingray is equipped with the Z51 option you have the same launch control option’s as the Grand Sport and ZO6. Good video.

[@RollingWithPoPoJones]

I actually didn’t know that. Thanks!!

[@ss-zt7en]

My 2018 z51 is the same as the stingray no extra options.

[@C7corvettestingray]

@@ss-zt7en I should have mentioned that the Z51 must be equipped with the Magnetic Ride adjustable shocks to have the PTM option.

[@ss-zt7en]

@@C7corvettestingray yep, no mag ride in mine.

[@gregorylaine]

And it’s automatic hahah

[@Thefunctionalveteran]

It is! I live right down the road, thank you for the info! I just picked up a procharged and cammed 17 grandsport, super excited to dive into it.

[@RollingWithPoPoJones]

Check this video out I just uploaded. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZe2cmeqrtCHg5osi=c6VdJDuDLw_BhaZu

[@phillipgarrow2297]

That all fine what about manual transmission model

[@Goczku]

The same but it starting from 4k rpm

[@JuanSanchez-es9zv]

My stingray has the exact same options 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@BigBlockSpence]

Can you do a video on the standard trans?

[@RollingWithPoPoJones]

I would love to. I will see what I can do.

[@reginaldsmith8197]

💯💯💯💯

[@billbuttaggi3897]

Good video! I'm interested in the "outside of PTM" part near the end... Are you still in track mode but without clicking the button twice? Sometimes I'd WANT to spin my tires but the car always grabs. How do I turn off PTM?

[@RollingWithPoPoJones]

I believe I was in sport mode when I spun the tires. PTM can only be activated in track mode, but just because you are in track mode does not mean you have to be in PTM. Just don’t activate it by double pressing the center button. You can use that same button to deactivate traction control by clicking just once. I’m sure you could definitely spin some tires that way!

[@RollingWithPoPoJones]

An issue that I had is that even in PTM mode, I spun a little bit in launch due to loose asphalt. However, PTM did what it was supposed to do and slowed my acceleration to prevent a continued burn out. The Grand Sport has wider tires and i believe that’s why it did not have the same issue.

[@billbuttaggi3897]

I'll give it a try! Thanks for the great video and response! @@RollingWithPoPoJones

[@RollingWithPoPoJones]

Absolutely!! Let me know how it goes!

[@ygnaciososa2585]

What if i have a 7 speed manual……

[@gerree6305]

Hello everyone ! Has every c7 launch control ? (Im from germany and dont unverstanden everything in this great video) thank you !

[@Goczku]

Standard Stingrey without z51 option hasn’t got launch control

[@gerree6305]

@@Goczku thank you bro !!!!

[@Cando79]

Do manual transmission have launch control?

[@RollingWithPoPoJones]

Hey @waldensaudio yes, the manual transmission C7 also has launch control. Functions just a little different with the clutch.

[@Johnnyboybravo]

When I tried it, the rpm was around 1500. Is there a way to adjust it?

[@Goczku]

Just buy two step launch control module

[@Thefunctionalveteran]

Is this in Tyler past Walmart?

[@243wayne1]

No. Frisco past Victoria's Secret and Twin Peaks.

[@scottbarker9058]

what the hell is..ptm..ive had a c7 since..2019///amazzing!!!!LOL

[@KellySmothers06]

For all those 'manual' questions, here is a copy and paste from the manual. Launch Control (Track Mode Only) A Launch Control feature is available within Competitive Driving Mode on all vehicles to allow the driver to achieve high levels of vehicle acceleration in a straight line. Launch Control is a form of traction control that manages tire spin while launching the vehicle. This feature is intended for use during closed course race events where consistent zero to 60 and quarter mile times are desirable. Launch Control is only available when the following criteria are met: Competitive Driving Mode is selected, or any of the Performance Traction Management modes are selected. The TCS light comes on the instrument cluster and the appropriate DIC message displays. The vehicle is not moving. The steering wheel is pointing straight. Manual Transmissions The clutch is pressed and the vehicle is in 1 (First) gear. The accelerator pedal is rapidly applied to wide open throttle. The Launch Control feature will initially limit engine speed as the driver rapidly applies the accelerator pedal to wide open throttle. Allow the engine rpm to stabilize. A smooth, quick release of the clutch, while maintaining the fully pressed accelerator pedal, will manage wheel slip. Complete shifts as described in Manual Transmission 0192. Automatic Transmissions The brake pedal must be firmly pressed to the floor, equivalent to a panic brake event. The accelerator pedal is rapidly applied to wide open throttle. (If the vehicle rolls due to wide open throttle, release the throttle, press the brake pedal more firmly, and re-apply the accelerator to wide open throttle.) The Launch Control feature will initially limit engine speed as the driver rapidly applies the accelerator pedal to wide open throttle. Allow the engine rpm to stabilize. A smooth, quick release of the brake pedal, while maintaining the fully pressed accelerator pedal, will manage wheel slip. After the vehicle is launched, the system continues in Competitive Driving Mode or Performance Traction Management. Competitive Driving Mode, PTM, and Launch Control are systems designed for a closed course race track and not intended for use on public roads. These systems are not intended to compensate for lack of driver experience or familiarity with the race track.

[@adammarquez9512]

I saw the car in park and was like wait you can activate launch control in park??? 😭

[@TheZQQH6]

What year is the GS? That is not the front of a GS. No front brake air ducts.

[@RollingWithPoPoJones]

2019 with 3,500 miles.

[@Brittvanegas]

Your better off not using launch control and traction control off

[@RollingWithPoPoJones]

Agreed. I’ve played around with and without the use of launch control and the truth is you can launch the control better without using the system.

[@Royal_Sapphire_Autohouse]

C7 launch control is an absolute shit , I ran 12.3 sec on a bone stock GS without it and 12.9 with it several times

[@neckisstiff]

Wow you can read the manual.😂

[@Royal_Sapphire_Autohouse]

@@neckisstiff also if you don’t know what is corvette and drag racing, I can give you a good advice about corvettes, hellcats etc. Soft mode of suspension will give better result than track mode.

[@neckisstiff]

@@Royal_Sapphire_Autohouse can you send me the manual.

[@mnoell35]

@@Royal_Sapphire_AutohouseI was told Sport 2 is the best launch mode.
