Race start/launch control
I've been hearing rumors that the c63 launch control/race start isn't going to be for Canadian models. When I ordered my car I never asked because I thought I did my research and they all had them. Can anyone from Canada confirm that they do have this feature, my vehicle is supposed to be here on the 8th and I'll be pretty pissed if this function is gone.

Does this feature accomplish the same thing as brake torqueing to like 1200 rpms and pedalling the throttle until you feel traction? I'm mainly curious because on the GT-R -- for example -- you can stand on the brake, get the revs up and then release break and the car will get a good launch, but it has awd. In contrast, the C63 has rear wheel drive, many of the models that are sold are not spec'd with an lsd, and the rear tires are skinny.
So, is the C63's new programming able to overcome the natural limitations created by lots of torque and skinny tires? If so, how does it accomplish this?
