Yes, that's exactly how launch control works. And it works! There are also some YouTube videos including a car wow m5 vs m8 that just came out.

P.S. I think there is a way to adjust rpm at launch, but I don't know how and honestly unless your at a drag strip you don't need to mess with it. Just launch and go.
Glad to hear someone has tried it. I've been waiting for the break-in period to expire. I have the perfect rural road in mind to give it a go on one of these upcoming weekends. It's several miles of just straight driving with low traffic so should be able to stop and launch a few times.
