I posted this on a few other videos This is really hard to watch. There are several people on the corvette forums and even people on RUclips talking about breaking their rear end gears because of launch control. The launch control setting works almost flawlessly when done correctly. This video along with the ron fellows raceway demo is doing it incorrectly. In the owners manual it specifically says to release the clutch in a quick and SMOOTH motion. Just dumping the clutch at 4,500rpm can and will break something eventually. The other issue is it also tells you to give the car a moment for the rpm’s to settle before letting out the clutch. I’ve been to my local drag strip a bunch with both my c7 manual z51 car and a buddys c7 z06 manual car and have used this feature without fail and it’s extremely consistent at the track. I’ve got plenty of PDR videos and time slips to back up my claims and you can see how smooth it actually is versus these guys just absolutely destroying the the car. Here is a quote from page 201 in my owners manual “1. Manual Transmissions . The clutch is pressed and the vehicle is in 1 (First) gear. 2. The accelerator pedal is rapidly applied to wide open throttle. The Launch Control feature will initially limit engine speed as the driver rapidly applies the accelerator pedal to wide open throttle. Allow the engine rpm to stabilize. 3. A smooth, quick release of the clutch, while maintaining the fully pressed accelerator pedal, will manage wheel slip. Complete shifts as described in Manual Transmission (page) 187.” I just hate for these great cars to keep getting a bad reputation because for some reason people were taught by “professionals” to dump the clutch while wide open on the throttle. I have over 50,000 miles and more launches than nasa so I can say with a clear conscious that just following the instructions in the manual will not only yield you much faster and consistent times but your cars clutch and drivetrain will really thank you… So sorry for the rant. Hope this helps.
So basically, let the rpms settle to just above 4k, if it's higher than that, you're not in LC mode. Once the revs settle release the clutch quickly and smoothly(but don't just side step/dump it). I've seen a few videos of guys doing it correctly and getting a lot of wheel hop. Has that happened to you?
@@smykster007That is correct. If the RPMs skyrocket and bounce off the rev limiter your car is not engaged in launch control. In the owners manual, it describes the factors that would not allow the car to engage in launch control. One of those examples is, if your wheel is not straight, so you cannot use launch control with your wheel, turned to the left or to the right. It doesn’t describe the angle your wheel must be at to not engage and I have not tested that myself. As for the wheel hop, the amount of torque is just too much for the harder OEM run flats to handle in the street. If you plan to launch in the street you are much better off doing this manually because of the overwhelming amount of intervention the cars system will have to manage. Typically they say NOT to do a burnout at the drag-strip on street tires but doing so with the Michelin pilot sport run flats that came stock on the car yielded much better results when cleaned up and with some carcass temperature in them. I was shooting for the number one spot on the fast list on the corvette forums in the showroom stock class. I have the time slips to show that I would have been able to take that spot over but it was the last run of the night and the clutch was too hot and when I left I wasn’t able to get into second gear and ruined the run. Most importantly though is the 60’ times are all around the 1.8 seconds on factory tires proving just how well the launch control is doing. Further more, when I switched the drag radials (Nitto nt555r2) and ran them at the recommended 18-20 psi (on a prepped surface recommendation from the manufacturer) launch control worked flawlessly and because the drag radials didn’t spin at all the clutch stayed much cooler. I ran 12 runs back to back with 12.0-12.2 quarter miles times with 1.7-1.8 60’ and only 115-116mph due to the heat of the summer. Based on the slips I should be in the 11 seconds with some good DA and cool weather and that’s on a completely showroom stock car other than drag radials. I hope this helps and I apologize for taking so long to respond. Edit: I may not have answered fully. In the streets I experienced tons of wheel spin specifically because the street isn’t as sticky as the prepped drag strip surface. At the drag strip I would experience wheel hop if I let the clutch out too quickly because it would overwhelm the factory tires and cause it to not only spin but having that sticky surface meant it would intermittently get some traction causing the dreaded wheel hop. Full disclosure, the more the clutch/engine management intervenes the more the clutch gets hot and will cause the pedal to stick to the floor. This has happened to me twice. Also be sure to check your fluid level of the clutch because it’s known to vaporize under the tremendous amount of heat. I bring a small bottle of amsoil DOT4 clutch fluid with me just in case. Since moving to the drag radials this isn’t really an issue but if you plan to run stock tires it’s something to be aware of.
To all the douche bags hating on he driver, this is how Corvette designed the car to be launched. It is called launch mode and they reccomend full throttle then drop the clutch. Let the computer do the rest.
there's nothing wrong with launch control. but what you got to understand is that it's a very sticky surface on the track so him launching that aggressively is very hard on the differential and other parts of the drivetrain.
I wouldnt worry about it in a z06 they have alittle strong rear ends than base cars sorry to see this happen personally have a base car that has been launching over 2 years now without any problems
Glad to see the fixed it for you. If they didn't that'd be a bunch of BS! As you stated it's stock and you were using a feature that came stock with the car (launch control) so they absolutely should cover it. My buddy has a 16 Z06 putting down about 725 to the wheels and has run it with launch control 20-30 times at track with zero issues.
Yea it's a stick. He knows he will granade the gears eventually and then he will upgrade to stronger, better ones. But I will tell him about your story. PS I found you from Cleetus channel
I subscribed! I like how you can just ask people to come join your channel your trade something to offer in your comment saying hey check out my vifeo on this.
I'm glad you understood what I meant. Lol. I didn't proof read till now and I'm surprised you knew what I meant. For those who didn't get it here's what I meant: I subscribed to him from another channel because he didn't just put a stupid comment saying come join my channel. He had a relevant topic to the video on his channel and said go check it out. I did. Saw he was down to earth and not a little kid so I subscribed
It may be set factory too,5000 RPM for LC but pretty sure you can still set the rpm at what ever you want too. If your track is,anything like my local then it would be best too do it around a,thousand or,1500rpm
Sorry to hear about your rear diff problem. Seems to be happening to alot of C7's when launch control is used. There are a few more videos on You Tube regarding failure and there is one from Spring Mountain driving school showing an instructor demonstrating Launch Control and he has a complete failure just like yours. Also a few threads on Stingray Forum about the issue. Good Luck
Man that sucks! What rpm did you launch at? Also did chevy give you grief on the warranty repair? I track my Camaro 2SS and launch with the same engine but more weight so I figure im probably at more risk of this than the average Stingray.
It was little over 4k using launch control. The dealer replaced it no questions asked. Camaro uses a different rear end than Corvette so hopefully its stronger.
Sorry. That sucks. I bought a 2016 Corvette Z06 and just broke it in. I have not tracked it yet, but did 0-60 runs just to get ready for the track! Launch control made the car worse and spun more wildly. Traction control off was so much better. Good luck!
@carguy11 I know this doesn't pertain to this video but how do you get your dash lights that bright? Mine are bright during the day but at night i can barley see the middle display. I have rolled the dimmer all the way up but doesn't get bright. its working because it will turn them off.
efly reading the comments I am seeing that people think you should put the power loss (heat) and friction on the clutch. I disagree this is how you burn up a clutch. From what I understand the power loss and friction should be minimalized using launch control. The minimal amount of loss should come at the tires and the ground. This should be limited by the computer which can do a better job than anybody slipping the clutch to get a good lunch. All this being said I watched your video because my first concern with the launch control was that I am going to burn the clutch up on my vette. What is your opinion on this. How strong is the clutch? How is yours holding up? I just bought my 2017 z51 yesterday. Had to leave town before I could even drive it.
Exactly right. People slip the clutch for best launch but I didn't want to do that to mine. It's holding up well but I don't abuse it with clutch slips. Next time I'm just going to rev to about 2500RPM and launch manually.
if you look at rear ends for c5's and c6's (i have a c5 that i frankenstein on) i'd bet based on the trends that the c7 diff, brand new from a dealer, was over $3000 :O
I broke half the teeth off the ring gear on my '70 Chevelle . 😁 It was a Cheaper and easier fix , had it up and running the next weekend , only because I had to work all week long . I used to think ; Chevrolet used silly putty to make the gears , Ford 8" rearend fixed the problem . Looks like the newer cars have the same thing going wrong with them . Could be quality control or a bad design . Hope you didn't have any money on the race , It Sucks !!!
This just happened at my local track, same year C7 and the same color. Must be the color! Lol. Seriously they must have weak rears or just not enough for the power they make stock.
that's the same sound that my girlfriend makes when she's rolling over when she's sleep snoring...sounds like I broke her rear end any warranty out there they offer for this ??lol 😂😂
wtfff.ff...im sitting here this very second about to take c7 to the car wash and then to the Speedway for Street Legal Drags and i pull up this video..it will be my first time to drags in this car.but now im debating on it after seeing this, .glad there fixing it but damm.
Its definitely a week point in these cars, this just happened to my 2017 grand sport although i was on a private road trying to do a burnout and instead of wheel spin i blew out the ass of my c7. Difference is my warranty will probably get denied cuz i have intake exhaust and a tune :(
CarGuy11 well just got the news dealer said gm said drivetrain warranty void because of non gm calibration. Im screwed. Is there anything i can do about them denying me?
You should have set your revs at 3,500 for launch control. You would have hooked just fine, it wouldn't have been so violent, and You probably wouldn't have grenaded your rear end...
@@CarGuy11 My bad. I meant to say rev to 3-4k in sport or track and release the brake. The owners manual states launch control will rev to 2k then drop down to about 1,200-1,300 before one releases the brake. The car bogs for a tick, then launches cleanly. Personal preference, but don't dump the clutch at 5- 5.5k...
CarGuy11 it happens bruh! Do it old school way and slip the clutch out easily feeling with you foot at 3200 rpms and get better from there. It's all in the feel of the pedal and tires spinning.
+CarGuy11 i ran it pretty hard before purchase. honestly no place to use the power on the streets here in cali. def a stiff sob. makes my balt ss feel like a caddy
totally agree, although we're the minority. once i did a road course with a corvette, i was hooked. havent drag raced once since! but really these things are toys when it boils down to it. if he wants to take it to a drag strip, cool. its fun, just (as this video exemplified) much harder on differentials :(
@@CarGuy11 Why would there be such a big difference? Also the higher the RPM at launch doesn’t always mean better. I found it can be tricky playing with 0 to 60 as far as the test results. With my experience With the TRX hellcat truck.
Ummm no. Fuck European cars. Uncomfortable, overpriced garbage that breaks after 40,000 miles, and costs waaaaay to much money to fix and maintain. I've come to respect American cars. No where else gives you the style, reliability, and performance for that price (at least here in america where its domestic, a corvette is very aggressively priced) A fully loaded Audi A4 or Mercedes C class (40k-60k) puts it in range of a moderately loaded CORVETTE Z51 NATURALLY ASPIRATED V8 pushing 460 horsepower that can get you 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. But if you want to take your fully loaded 2.0 liter 4 cylinder turbo Mercedes, or Audi, or BMW, with a slow and unexciting 200hp, (or overpriced unreliable 300hp v6/I6 engines) which will routinely break after 40k miles, be my guest. Even their mid range shit is too expensive. And don't even get me started on their "flagship" cars, like BMW's M3 or Mercedes C63. Those cars are 80 grand plus, which can get you a z06 supercharged v8 with 650 horses, or if you wanna spend more, you can buy a used high end Porsche. Give respect and credit where its due. The corvette is a very unique car. It has its problems, as does every car, but for the performance and price, and style, i'll take fixing up a 460 horsepower corvette for a lower cost than fixing an overpriced German engineered piece of garbage.
what you don't think it possible for a drive shaft or axle to break on a European car. This Corvette has 650 horse most European cars don't have that much horsepower
I have a C7 Z06 (650bhp) and a 987 Cayman S with a turbo kit (455bhp). My Cayman will smoke my Z06 on any track. Z06 is great if you're going in a straight line.

Man that sucks.... glad to hear it was covered under warranty.
Thanks man!
Man that sucks! Glad it was covered under warranty though, GM is awesome for doing that.
For sure! Thanks!
Not for the ls7 valve guide issue
that rear end was defective, they have guys in the 1000hp range that race and have not had a issue with the stock rear end.
No, its just the LC for manuals that rips it
Well the launch control worked just great the car didn't launch anywhere. Looked very controlled.
+Arthur Trella LOL
That forward lean waiting for the acceleration that never comes! Lol. Then shifts to 2nd hoping for different results. 😂
Yep lol 😢
To all the douche bags hating on he driver, this is how Corvette designed the car to be launched. It is called launch mode and they reccomend full throttle then drop the clutch. Let the computer do the rest.
Should have set the revs at launch for 3,500 or 4,000. Hooks the best and doesn't blowout the rear end.
you don't drop the clutch you let it out smoothly
You have to let the engine stabilize before dumping the clutch you dumped it over 5k?
It should stabilize around 4K
Hold on guys I am going to dump the clutch at 5k rpms.... Son of a bitch!!!
So many hands on the paint!
LOL, I know!!! Was least of my worries at the time tho :)
I just bought a Z06. Now I am not sure if I should even try that Launch Control feature and just do it the old fashion way.
+Julio Diez Congrats! Naw I'd stay away from launch control. Can do better on your own.
there's nothing wrong with launch control. but what you got to understand is that it's a very sticky surface on the track so him launching that aggressively is very hard on the differential and other parts of the drivetrain.

Thank you all very much for your comments. I'm going to give it a shot. ;-)
How many times have you launched yours? I just picked up a 2017 Z51 and am worried if I launch it too much it will get messed up.
Man that sucks!!! Glad it was covered under warranty, but it still sucks nonetheless. Hope it's up and running again soon!
Appreciate it man!
Geez dude, you dropped that sucker at 5 and a half grand. What did you expect? Either way, nice car man. It always could've been worse!
Damn launch control! Thanks.

It was little over 4k using launch control. The dealer replaced it no questions asked. Camaro uses a different rear end than Corvette so hopefully its stronger.
The Corvette has Independent rear suspension , yours is probably a stronger design , trading off a smoother ride for reliability !
How many miles did you have at the time? Have you ever changed the differential fluid prior to this?
I had about 5k miles on it and had dealer change diff fluid about a month before because I was tracking it.
Sorry. That sucks. I bought a 2016 Corvette Z06 and just broke it in. I have not tracked it yet, but did 0-60 runs just to get ready for the track! Launch control made the car worse and spun more wildly. Traction control off was so much better. Good luck!

Hmm the dimmer switch only thing that I have adjusted. Wonder if they changed the range of brightness in different model years.
Did you just dump the clutch if so that's why too takes all the shock right away
I have done a dozen launches on launch control I have toyo r888r no problem.
Clutch slip baby!
i learned the hard way, blew out my stock rear end running a coyote swap on my 2008 gt
The same thing happened to me in my Z51 last Sunday. It's getting a new diff right now.
Wow, using launch control right? Glad they are covering it.
Yeah as soon as it launched after engaging launch control, the spider gears in the diff broke...
Wow, Marco, yeah, that was loud!
Yeah, scared the shit out of me!
Carguy11, how do u keep the Vette logo on your nav screen on ? Mine switch to the main menu screen after I start it up .. mine is a 2017
+Parker2320 SportCabin Turn the stereo off by pressing and holding the power button.

That's horrible and a little unnerving but at least it was covered under warranty.
That's the great thing about GM, they cover their performance models on track.

That sucks but damn man plz wear head protections, that got Dale Sr
Will do, point taken.
Wasn't Dale Sr wearing head protection? Wasn't his harness defective?
In Australia they won't cover this if they know you were at the drag strip or track
+HEKTIC458 That's odd it's different in other countries.
Is stabilitrack same as launch control. Can’t get the launch control screen
There is no screen. Active in comp mode or PTM.
I meant on the dash. It just says stabilitrack when I press the center button twice
Yes it won’t say anything on dash unfortunately.
So when stabilitrack is off I just press down on the break and gas? It should be able to launch ?
@@gurjants92 Stabilitrak has to be on comp mode or PTM. ruclips.net/video/STQ59J9jhQM/видео.html
I launched mine here a few weeks ago five or six times at 6000 RPM. but I never use launch control at the drag strip
+rmm2424 Should be no different.
+CarGuy11 not true, street isn't a prepped surface
+Matt Simmons I believe he meant he was launching at 6000 RPM on the drag strip just not using launch control.
I broke half the teeth off the ring gear on my '70 Chevelle . 😁 It was a Cheaper and easier fix , had it up and running the next weekend , only because I had to work all week long .

Yeah nothing easy with modern cars.
How did I have the corvette logo stay on your HID ?
I believe its a change for 2016. When you turn the radio full off (press and hold power button).
i have the 2015 model, can the infotainment system be updated to the 2016 with car play ?
Unfortunately no.
CarGuy11 dam it still no update on that. Can't wait for it though. Or I will just have to return the car and get the 2016 model
it suck when you bust your car at the track sucks even more is when a scooter flies past you like that lol
I know right!
The something happened to me in my 2014 1LE Bone Stock 800 miles ?
Geez I'm hearing more and more stories about them failing!
This just happened at my local track, same year C7 and the same color. Must be the color! Lol. Seriously they must have weak rears or just not enough for the power they make stock.

Ah geez that sucks. Let me know what happens at dealer. Hopefully will still cover it.
CarGuy11 well just got the news dealer said gm said drivetrain warranty void because of non gm calibration. Im screwed. Is there anything i can do about them denying me?
Sorry to hear that. Try calling GM customer service and say its a common problem on the forums.
once you get into the computer youve just screwed yourself on any warranty work,you can put a CAI on and mufflers,anything beyond that will void you
Differential was gone?
Yep. ruclips.net/video/MM3BtE4kWBc/видео.html&t=
Damn! Hope it will be allright
Thanks all good now.
+CarGuy11 what even happened? The axel?
The small spider gears in rear differential.
you left the clutch so fast, even so it is a week spider
thanks for sharing!
Sure thing!
You should have set your revs at 3,500 for launch control. You would have hooked just fine, it wouldn't have been so violent, and You probably wouldn't have grenaded your rear end...
Unfortunately you can’t set revs in C7.
@@CarGuy11 My bad. I meant to say rev to 3-4k in sport or track and release the brake. The owners manual states launch control will rev to 2k then drop down to about 1,200-1,300 before one releases the brake. The car bogs for a tick, then launches cleanly. Personal preference, but don't dump the clutch at 5- 5.5k...
Did he say you snapped the axle?!?!
Yeah, most common thing to break I guess.
Danggg.. Do you think you put too much power down??
It's stock so should not have happened.
I really hope GM takes care of you.
Yeah they are covering it.
Painful to hear that sound! Sorry brother. Keep us updated please.
Thanks, will do!
0:50 "Son of a b!tch."
Push of SHAME! 🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Yep ☹️
CarGuy11 it happens bruh! Do it old school way and slip the clutch out easily feeling with you foot at 3200 rpms and get better from there. It's all in the feel of the pedal and tires spinning.
i baby mine. I have not even done a burnout yet or even close to it. lol
That's no fun lol. But I get it.
+CarGuy11 i ran it pretty hard before purchase. honestly no place to use the power on the streets here in cali. def a stiff sob. makes my balt ss feel like a caddy
That car is meant for a road course. Should take it to Willow.
totally agree, although we're the minority. once i did a road course with a corvette, i was hooked. havent drag raced once since! but really these things are toys when it boils down to it. if he wants to take it to a drag strip, cool. its fun, just (as this video exemplified) much harder on differentials :(
That bang huts my ears.
I know crazy loud!
seems to be an ocd behavior checking the neutral position of the shift lever... I think I counted 8 times
LOL, never noticed ha!
Same thing happened to my uncle
Really? On a C7 manual?
So that means warranty void
+Phantom Menace703 No it's stock and GM covers track driving.
+CarGuy11 my dealer doesn't cover any of that
They don't build them like they use to.....Trans, clutch and rear nothing compared to my 66.
Damn it took you the whole 1/4 mile to realize something wasn't right with it. Wtf did you go to 2nd gear for?
+Chase Prollock To check if the trans broke.
that sucks I hate it for you dude
Thanks, very surprised it happened.
Well damn
+Evil ZL1 I know crazy!
that sound was so painful
Yeah :(
The only problem here is taking it to the drag strip
Lol should be able to handle it.
Launch control should stop at about 2000 RPM you are at 6000 RPM
It only does that on auto. It’s not a good system.
@@CarGuy11 Why would there be such a big difference? Also the higher the RPM at launch doesn’t always mean better. I found it can be tricky playing with 0 to 60 as far as the test results. With my experience With the TRX hellcat truck.
@@CarGuy11 I just got Z06 auto have not launched it yet
Because the torque converter on the auto prevents engine from reving higher than around 2000 rpm.
speed Society has hijacked your video interesting comments on it
Thanks for letting me know. Saw the increased views today and was wondering where it came from!
Should of bought a c6 lol
OH Damn man thats bad
Yep, but fixed under warranty.
driver mod needed! jk

That's why you buy European cars.
falchulk You sound like you have a whole lot of hate in your heart. Your childhood must have been horrendous.
Ummm no. Fuck European cars. Uncomfortable, overpriced garbage that breaks after 40,000 miles, and costs waaaaay to much money to fix and maintain. I've come to respect American cars. No where else gives you the style, reliability, and performance for that price (at least here in america where its domestic, a corvette is very aggressively priced) A fully loaded Audi A4 or Mercedes C class (40k-60k) puts it in range of a moderately loaded CORVETTE Z51 NATURALLY ASPIRATED V8 pushing 460 horsepower that can get you 0-60 in 3.8 seconds.
But if you want to take your fully loaded 2.0 liter 4 cylinder turbo Mercedes, or Audi, or BMW, with a slow and unexciting 200hp, (or overpriced unreliable 300hp v6/I6 engines) which will routinely break after 40k miles, be my guest. Even their mid range shit is too expensive. And don't even get me started on their "flagship" cars, like BMW's M3 or Mercedes C63. Those cars are 80 grand plus, which can get you a z06 supercharged v8 with 650 horses, or if you wanna spend more, you can buy a used high end Porsche.
Give respect and credit where its due. The corvette is a very unique car. It has its problems, as does every car, but for the performance and price, and style, i'll take fixing up a 460 horsepower corvette for a lower cost than fixing an overpriced German engineered piece of garbage.
what you don't think it possible for a drive shaft or axle to break on a European car. This Corvette has 650 horse most European cars don't have that much horsepower
I hope u kno European cars break too
I have a C7 Z06 (650bhp) and a 987 Cayman S with a turbo kit (455bhp). My Cayman will smoke my Z06 on any track. Z06 is great if you're going in a straight line.
Clearly Shows A Car Is Not Post To Always Do The Work Specially After Launching 3-4 Times And Doing Burnouts
shoulda got a hell cat
No.
Ouch jajajaja
lol - dumps it and wonders why it fails -- ffs get some driving lessons ...
i own a 2016 C7 z51, and i'm not going to lie that these cars are built like shit.
Should've bought a mustang;)
Ford says they will void your warranty if u race the mustang, so good thing he has a vette!!
+Auto Noo I doubt that really???
+RyanRC2 yeah, pretty surprising. www.motorauthority.com/news/1091694_racing-your-mustang-will-void-its-warranty-despite-line-lock
He did have a mustang lmao. Then a drunk driver totaled it a week later lol
You lost, typical GM crap
Oh well what did you expect from Chevy😂
