You don't need launch control to get sub 3.5 times. The 5-60 times are done to show what a rolling start would look like. If you want a good time, you don't even need launch control. All you need is some brake boosting. It's still far less skill than you'd need to properly launch a car with a manual transmission. One foot on the brake, one foot on the gas, proper modulation of both, and you're off. I'm sure without LC and without a 1ft rollout, most people who practice could do sub 3s 0-60 with this car.
