I'm reminded why I bought the BMW each time I laugh when cornering and accelerating out of a sweeping bend. Also thinking if a much lighter car, even when not abused with LC, will feel faster on hard acceleration and have added perk of "funner" cornering. (that last sentence typed by Captain Obvious)
Guess these questions are all small parts of why we're drawn to the cars we own or spend too much time reading about/dreaming about.

Launch control is pretty easy to use especially because most people drive in the appropriate drive mode you need to be in all the time anyway. I don't think Id use LC any less than I'd bomb an EV from a dig personally. It's not like the bmw launch control is holding at an insanely high amount of rpms and making a ton of noise anyway
