OK, my teasing aside: the fastest and most consistent launching car I've ever had was my 2020 F90C. That car nailed 0-60mph per Dragy in 2.57s repeatedly. On a bad day, it was mid 2.6s. I also had two x F90s and, though the second car was certainly the faster of the two, they both launched perfectly. I have no idea what the trouble with launching is so I'm afraid I'm no help there. The M8 launches just as well although it's only managed a 60 in 2.59s, it's consistently a mid 2.6s car.
Could you explain your exact launch sequence/technique to get these numbers please because I struggle. Thanks.
These numbers are not achievable stock. Is that the root of your question?
