![]() I spent a day playing with the launch control feature of the Camaro SS 1LE and the fact that this handling package is easily the grippiest muscle car Ive ever driven actually makes it a little harder to launch with the launch control package. Once the system is armed, it works just like the Mustang system, but I don’t think that it worked as well in my tests. ![]() You have to hold down the Traction Control button for 7 seconds and when you do, both the stability control and traction control lights on the dash let you know that you are in track mode. ![]() The 2015 Chevrolet Camaro launch system is kind of “hidden”, and you don’t know that it is on – or that it exists – unless you have read up on how the system works. The system works great and it is easy to use. When you let the clutch out, the traction control system works quickly to get you out as quickly as possible and with this system, I found that the Mustang GT is very capable of reeling out consistent 5.1 0-60 times and consistent mid to low 13 second quarter mile times (based on the on-board timing system). From there, whenever you are at a stop, you can hold the clutch in, floor the gas and the car will automatically hold the engine RPM wherever you have designated between 3,000 and 4,500. Provided that traction control is on, all you have to do is use the wicked cool toggle switches on the center stack to go into track mode and Launch Control is ready. The Mustang’s Launch Control is always armed when you are in track mode, so it really doesn’t get any easy than that, and the Mustang gauge cluster lets you know that Launch Control is activated. I find the Launch Control system in the 2015 Ford Mustang GT to be the best in the segment based on two factors – how easy it is to use and how well it works. My favorite aspect of the Launch Control system in the Mustang is that when you are in track mode with the traction control system activated, the launch system is always armed and ready to go – and it always does a remarkable job of getting the car moving in a hurry. Ford’s Launch Control is the best system I have used and I have extensively tested the similar systems in the Dodge Challenger and the Chevrolet Camaro. The Ford Mustang first got Launch Control in the previous generation Boss 302, but with the 2015 Mustang, it is standard on all GT models.
