I then added, it must be safe because otherwise in America the land of litigation there would be a page dedicated to informing you that using launch control "can seriously damage your health" or "worse some elses!" or high up there "the vehicles mechanics" There are NO warnings to say, "Don't use on the street" or "only for track use" urr, urr, urr. In cars with turbochargers, the launch control will also spool up the turbo so that the driver has the full benefit of the extra power from the launch. They fit a radio for the same reason, right? urr, urr. Never heard a guy stutter so much in all my life! Urr, urr, urr, urr, I said hey Ferrari fit the thing so they must assume it will get used.

All the driver has to do is turn off the traction control, put the adjustable suspension in the sport mode, hold the brake, bring the revs to about 5250 rpm (peak torque point), and release the brake. This system automatically adjusts clutch engagement and throttle position to give the 575M the best possible standing-start getaway. Ferrari fitted F1-equipped 575Ms with a launch-control system.
