Launch control does work on these cars. But if you ease into the gas it will stay off. You basically stab the pedal to the floor and it will spike to 4k and stop.
The down side to this is that stock axles and ring gears are very weak and a lot of people break them using launch control even on stock tires.

These guys are sponsors, and the best in the business. As always with IRS cars though, you have to pay to play.

Yeah, 90 minutes if you've never done Axles on the IRS cars before. If you have, it gets down to about 40 minutes. Normally you only need to do them once though, and then the ring gear is your new weak point.
