Delay on Launch Mode
After engaging Launch Control/Race Start and releasing the brake, there is a slight delay, maybe 1/2 second where the vehicles slowly rolls a bit before it launches. This of course, will kill 60ft and ETs. Has anyone else experienced this?

put car in sport+ if in non s model or race mode in S model.
press traction control button once to engage “race” mode in non s model or hold down for a few seconds to turn all traction off

On the non “S” model there is no race mode but if you put it in sport+ and push traction once it is the exact same thing as the “S” models race mode... it eliminates almost all the traction control but keeps enough in place just in case.
Push and hold for 3-5 seconds and it will eliminate it all the way off. For launch control I’d recommend it.. the 4 matic system isn’t going anywhere but straight...
