Does Launch Control Damage the Car?

[VanSebastian]

Launch control is very damaging to the car. Launch control is an operation based on the suffering of the engine and transmission, which affects every moving component from the engine to the tires. Therefore, launch control is extremely harmful to the vehicle. Frequent use of launch control can directly lead to transmission damage. Thus, one must be cautious when using launch control. Most automatic transmission cars simulate launch control through programming, while manual transmission cars rely entirely on the driver's operation to perform launch control. During launch control, the engine is pre-revved to a certain RPM. For automatic transmission cars, the driver needs to simultaneously press the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, then release the accelerator pedal once the launch control mode is activated. For manual transmission cars, the driver must press the clutch pedal and the accelerator pedal simultaneously while engaging first gear. Once the engine reaches the desired RPM, the clutch pedal should be quickly released.
