Exclamation Launch Control problem!!!

Don't know why but my Launch Control does not work. At least it seems like it.

Maybe my car is wrong or I'm not doing it right?

When I put on Sport Plus mode, left foot on the brake and right foot fully pressed down, the Launch Mode LED appears.

Then I release the left foot and when the tires are about to skid, the Traction Control intervenes and hinders the acceleration by pausing about 0.6 seconds.

PSM off, Sport + on.

Before 2 months i went drag racing, i got 12.8 1st two goes, the launch control worked perfectly. Then, i went three times again and i got 13.4, and i lost like 0.6 seconds. Yesterday i also went and i didnt get in the 12s all in the 13. I NEED HELP!!! IM FRUSTRATED.

Am I doing something wrong or is something wrong with "MY" car?

Anybody knows about this, please let me know!

I appreciate it...

You don't say what RPM you are attempting to launch at nor do you say what year your car is. Unless you have a 2011, you should be launching at 6,500 RPM.

Tire pressures the same? Track surface the same? Stock alignment?
