  • with electronic ...

    with electronic traction controls, you can have more direct power and less "slip" since you now have more precise control over it, to the point you can transfer power to the limits of avaliable traction measured by sensors.
    but this is also what makes some traction controls "disconnected" with the driver since it is more "drive by wire". either it unresponsive and less fun or too abrupt/harsh and dangerous.
    the technology is better now ranging from ZR1 to F460.

  • ANY car can be ...

    ANY car can be built to have selective rpm limiters as this "launch control". it's just no one does that because you will completely F**k up your drivetrain.

    many cars allows for some "slip" to buffer the power transmitted from the powertrain to the drivetrain, either the clutch or stall speed and lock-up in automatics. you lose some power/acceleration.

    the reason can be intentional: reduce the shock which can cause the wheels to lose traction or if traction is there, break the transmission.

  • lol, so all this ...

    lol, so all this S**t about gtr "breaking tranmissions" was because everyone was misusing the vdc?
    i would see this "launch control" as an rpm-limited VDC bypass.
    i can see why you want it rpm-limited since you don't want the wheels to big time break loose and especially keeping rpms low for getting out of mud or snow.
    but to think that some people were using it as a launch control like an ignition-based rpm limiting drag launch makes me think these GTR owners don't F**king deserve the car.
