I tried one out and found the best time was by putting the slip target at 15% and the launch at 1200. 2000 is too high and a low slip target pulls too much power That last one looked a little downhill. I put 38 pounds of air in all tires and got a 3.8 and 12.17 at almost 115 at the dragstrip.completely stock But the one I tried tried had 41k miles and 240 treadwear tires.
how do you change the slip target?
Sorry but that was a rental and it was over 2 years ago and I don't remember how to do it, but I'm sure I either found how on YT or maybe the owner's manual. Don't think it was hard to do. Good luck.
@@highlanderc options in the launch mode click the right button on the steering wheel. It’ll say custom, select that and then hit slip target
Lmao “who put a house by a track”
Bro did you realize that you hit 4.0sec with passenger 😅. Perfect 🔥🖤🔥
Didn't even think about that, lol, I weigh 140 pounds, so I bet with just me in there it'd be down in the high 3s easily.
1018 Video hell yea. Try to hit 3.8-3.9 alone
Damn this Camaro doesn’t mess around
Did you notice he was going downhill though 😂
I love u guys Lmfaooo
You just found the burnout buttons 😂👍
Hey! That’s my house ur talkin about! I built it there so that I could hear you guys’ Camaro!
Love this car, I'd take it any day over an m3
Same!
Great vid 👍🏻
Thanks!
I Love how it soundsss😻😻
It does sound pretty great!
that sounded a lot better than i expected. I thought you had an exhaust on it or somethin.
Nope, completely stock.
Earned a new subscriber, great video!
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video!
Man that is Awesome with a passenger in the car
Be in the 3’s without him in there
Just got a 16 1ss and can't find the option or settings for launch control. Any ideas
I don't think all Camaros had this option.
@@1018Video does a 2018 ss 2 have this feature?
@@panero718 I had a 2016 2SS, which is the same as 2018, and it did not have RPM and slip target settings. Got my 2020 2SS and it has these settings. It’s a cool feature but you’re not missing much. Once you play with it a few times it gets old and you just launch without trying to perfect RPM and slip%. I can’t remember what the default launch RPM was on my 16. The new line lock feature is def fun though. Wish I had that on my 16.
@@R6Jordan you answered my question before I got to reply thanks man! You read my mind about the RPM settings lol. Love this car and thanks a lot for the response. It works I just need a location to burn rubber 😈😈😈
I belive it's 2k rpms
My 2018 1ss auto don't give the option to change the settings or i cant find it
Im pretty sure that settimg sceen only works on 19+
Edit: Launch Controlling Works On 2016+ But Yep I a Think You’re Right About The ‘Setting Screen’ Only 19+
2020, screen still does nothing
I think it's an option on these cars, some have it and some don't, I think you have to order the car with it.
lol, "Why would anyone put a house on a track?!"
I lost it
🤣 🤣 🤣
You’d get a 3.9 with no passenger at sea level with tires warmed up rear tires 26psi on 93 pump with octane booster added
This car has longtube headers, an E85 tune and a full catless exhaust now.
Your gauge in launch control IS working. It shows up until you click the performance settings. It is that little rectangle at 4:59. If you had pressed the brake hard before clicking the perormance button that little rectangle would have shown a slider going to the right until you had the brakes pressed hard enough.
Even when we figured out launch control, the gauge never worked no matter how hard we pressed the brakes.
@@1018Video Its not the brakes. At 4;59 that little launch rectangle is there I see it with the lttle green light on the right. Dont go to the performance timers after you see the rectangle but skip that step and press the brake pedal. The bar in the rectangle should start moving to the right Will not show the performance timers and the launch/ rectangle screen at the same time. Good luck
@@fastguned
I know, lol. We played with it a lot on the Launch Control Menu too, never got it to work.
@@1018Video Well it still seems you are not doing something right. What happens when you apply the brakes after seeing the rectangle. Does it not move the slider or just go away.? The correct display/rectangle is there in your video at 4{59
@@fastguned
When we keep it on that screen and apply the brakes, it does nothing on the screen, just an empty rectangle.
Very cool Fallas thanks for sharing sadly they don't offer launch control in the 4-cylinder Turbo boohoo.😕
I know right! It'd be really cool if they did. Glad you liked the video!
The house in the track 🥴😂😂
🤣
do you have to let go of the gas and press it again or just keep your foot on it
Apply the brakes hard and floor the gas, release the brake when you're ready to launch.
Keep flooring it you only take foot of brake
Wish the 16-18 had the same dial in features... Btw, what tires and about how miles did you have on them?
Whatever tires come stock on the 2019 Camaro 2SS, and the car and tires had about 400 miles on them at this time.
Set rpm to 2300 with 10%
Higher RPMs made the car spin tires pretty bad, the fastest we got the car to go on stock tires was with the Launch Control at 2k RPMs and 10% Slip Target.
1018 Video have you tried it at 10% at 2300 tho I seen you tried higher but you put it at 14%
@@landonhall55
Yeah off camera we tried basically every way you can use Launch Control.
1018 Video ahh okay love the ss get a little more grip but don’t go overboard and weigh it down
@@landonhall55
It's a fun car that's for sure!
Launch control is an awesome feature. I don't use it much, as I disable all the "nannies". Push and hold the button down until both icons pop up on the dash. Then it's all turned off. Burnouts and drifts galore!
Gets scary on wet pavement if you do that though! These cars on wet pavement will spin tires at like 50mph, lol.
Can you explain this because I think mines is turned off
Man i have a camaro 2SS 2019 and i can do launch control on trackmode only. In sport i cant i dont know why? Anyone with this problem? What shouldd i do?
Check the owners manual. Mine says track only.
The ZL1 is sport or track.
Sounds right to me, that is a track feature I believe.
How do you get launch control menu to change slip target, launch rpm, etc ...
get to the *
Some of these cars didn't get that option.
@@1018Videois that why i cant find the rpm settings in my ss?
@@chaliasif12
That's the launch-control screen, not all Camaro's got that.
Think it needs to be in comp mode for it to work right
Maybe.
My 2017 2SS has launch control but not the customization menu
I think some things were optional.
It’s only for 2019s camaro
Not true, there's a 2020 Camaro 1SS on my channel with launch-control.
@@1018Video I meant from 2019 onwards
@@1018Video because i have a ss 2018 and she doesn't have launch control
Mines don’t work when I try it
What do you mean?
"who puts a house on a track, ridiculous" haha lol
🤣 😎
I can’t seem to have “options” in stabilitrack made
While traction control and everything is on, double click your traction control button quickly. The car should go into competitive mode.
1018 Video thank you so much!
I’m sorry I mean while launch control is on I can seem to get the option to adjust my rpm
@@junitoss83
Hmm, I think it comes up if you're on the launch control screen and you push the right arrow on the steering wheel.
Quick question , is it better to launch or sport or track , what’s suggested on a drag
Do your have a Custom Exhaust or is this stock?
It sounds awesome
It's stock.
Npp performance exhaust dual mode exhaust which allows driver to adjust the sound of the exhaust
So what year is this SS? Because I have an 2017 automatic 8 speed 2SS and I don’t have this on mine.
This is a 2019 Camaro 2SS, some Camaro's didn't come with that feature.
Cant find my launch control on my 2018 2ss??
Hmm, I'm thinking it wasn't on every car possibly?
2019 and up
Good video. After you floor the gas pedal do you let off the brake fast or slowly???
You will need to quickly get off the brake to get the car moving as fast as possible.
@@1018Video okay gotcha going to try it out on my 2018 SS. Thanks maro bro 💪🏼💪🏼
This is the best sounding version of this. Car
They do sound pretty good!
That's the npp stock exhaust (performance exhaust with options to change from tour to all the way track
Is this work for the 8 speed Automatic to? Because I can’t get the launch control menu at all. I don’t have a menu in the settings. I thought I had found it once but I don’t know what I did and I can’t get it again and I have the 2018 2 SS with the eight speed automatic. Yes I’m in track with the traction control on in the competitive mode. But I don’t have the menu for the launch control. Please do you have any ideas for me about what I could be doing wrong? Help please
Hmm, it should work in all LT1 powered new Camaros with automatic transmissions. Put the car in Competitive Mode and if you can't find the launch control menu just try to launch it with the instructions in this video, you don't have to be in the launch control menu to use launch control, that's just how you can set it up, you just have to be in Competitive Mode.
I have done everything you say in the video but I’m not getting the launch control menu at all and I don’t have anything in the options menu for launch control. The only way I can get it to work is to put it in the 0-60 menu then I’ll have to hit the button on the right wheel control when I take off and it will give me the 0-60 time but still no launch control menu at all in the options menu. I have tried everything and I guess it is time to take it to the dealership and see what is wrong. Thank you for your reply.
@@kimchappell9559
I heard that not all of the SS cars came with it, I'm not sure how true that is though.
Thanks
The owners manual says that there’s two choices of clusters a base one and a high end or different one. I haven’t been to the dealership yet. But I just don’t think that my cluster has it. I have heads up display and I don’t know if that’s the difference between the clusters or not yet. But I’m going to find out sooner or later. Thanks for your help.
I have a 2016 ss and can't find the launch control . I find it weird that an SS wouldn't have it
I'm not sure why it wouldn't have it, I hear from some people it's an option and I hear from some that it's only on the 2SS's, idk, lol.
@@1018Video mine is a 2SS . who knows .
Bro the camaro ss should come with a thicker tire, came with 275's in the rear😐
Stock this car actually got great traction. After the tune though, this car spun the stock tires everywhere!
My 16 keeps going left and steering against it to keep it straight just makes the car go left and right and nearly out of control
Sounds like it needs an alignment.
@@1018Video I thought that as well, I recently found out that I was launching it wrong though because apparently the automatic doesn't have a launch control function and your just supposed to floor the brake and gas while in competitive mode then let go of the brake and since I've done that I haven't had the issue anymore so maybe it was just because my tires were spinning out and had no traction
I wonder if this will work on my RS I'll try it out
Maybe, I'm not sure though.
its not a feature on the RS V6 models and the settings features are not on the 1SS models either...
Is this the 2SS model or 1SS?
It's the 2SS.
Perfect🔥
How quick it is not how fast it is.
😎
Just realized this after owning it for 3 years
Yeah they don't really announce it, I guess it's like a hidden easter-egg lol.
Hey bro just bought a 2020 Camaro SS. By chance do you remember the settings you used for the 4.0/4.1 time!
Uhh, should be in the video, I don't remember.
Easy, point downhill like he was in the video haha! Kind of misleading, but still impressive. I'd be happy with 4.5 on flat ground. That's a respectable number. Grats on the new ride!
What are you pressing to get to those seetings..I get far as track/traction control twice..then what? I dont see options
I'm thinking it may not be an option on every car.
its not on the 1SS models just the launch control - 8sp automatic
@@maddymayhew239 I have 2019 2ss 10spd A ,I figured it out thanks
Im running 4 seconds flat with a manual consistently
That's pretty impressive, must have a good tire on it.
Bro i got the 2017 camaro 2SS and ican get to the launch control menu but it will not let me set my tires slip or anything else. What am I doing wrong, or does this not work with the 2017 model?
I'm not sure, it may be a fairly new thing for 2018 and up.
Hello I have a 2018 camaro 2SS and for some reason when I put it in competitive mode and go to performance I can’t find launch control just g forces, tire temperature and other things. How did you do it?
@@IMainRed the same to me, the launch control does not appear to be able to graduate my rpm ... help us
Yes help us. I habe a german camaro Version. Maby thats the reason :/
No wonder my 19ss with boltons roast tires and wont engage launch control right😅
They're a bit small for what the car is
I want to put my 18 2ss through this again but it is currently experiencing torque converter shudder. GM TSB 18 na 177 & 355. Going in shop Monday.
We plan to get an aftermarket torque converter, not sure if the 10 speed transmissions have that issue but we don't want to find out either, lol.
The torque converter shudder is due to cavitation in the transmission fluid they used. GM created a special formulation to solve this problem that I think only dealers can get. I had my fluid flushed and replaced with the new formulation and the transmission is smooth as silk now!!
@@walterstorm9221
True! There is a recall on the fluid, you can take your car to a dealership and they can look up your vin and see if your car has had the fluid flushed or not.
I call bs on gm! It's not the new fluid that fixes the issue. This fluid is just a bandaid so gm can hope they can keep replacing the fluid until the warranty runs out. Back in the day if your tranny slipped you poured sawdust into it then sold it while it wasn't slipping. GMs new fluid is basically a thicker fluid with fibers. It does not fix the misengineering!
What sucks is i have the same car but i am 235 pounds, and with another person in my car
Pretty much the situation we were in, lol.
Does this work in a manual?
I'm sure there is some kind of launch-control on the manual car.
Thanks for the video...wish I'd seen this vid a few days ago, before taking my 2019 2SS out before getting new tires and trying to get into launch control. One little detail that prevented me from getting to launch control...the owners guide says it will work in both Track and Sport modes. It doesn't...it only works in Track mode. I went out the next day and switched to track mode and got to the launch control screen. That's also where you can do burnouts.
They're fun cars once you figure them out!
I know this was a year ago but even in sport I can still use launch control
4 point zero, not oh.
😎
Any help
What do you mean.
What year is the camaro ?
2019 Camaro 2SS.
Man you're getting better times than I do in my 2019 ZL1, the best I've ever got is 4.6 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) but thanks to watching your video I think why I've never got launch control to work is I'm not hitting the gas hard and fast enough, every time I've tried using it I've held the brakes hard but slowly floored the gas and just sat there doing a burnout.
You have to go straight to the floor with the gas quickly. Your ZL1 with a sticky tire would do 3.6 0-60mph.
Some newer videos on my channel have a ZL1 in them.
@@1018Video thanks for that, I can't wait to try it and I was just watching the flex fuel install video on the ZL1. Cheers from Australia
@@davidt3196
Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!
Man I'm looking and looking but I don't seem to have some of the menus you have. I select options but don't see anything on the right menus for custom. What's the trick??
Did you put the vehicle in Track Mode?
Or Competitive Mode.
@@1018Video stabilitrack competitive mode
You need a 2019 or newer, or 2016 or newer 1LE. Put it in track mode, then press traction control button twice to enter competitive mode. Then navigate to the custom settings.
@@R6Jordan So you are saying the 2017 doesn't have launch control?
Does the 1ss have launch control and line lock?
I believe it's an option on all of these cars.
the 1SS does not have the settings options only the launch control
What di you put when you hit that 04.1???
We had the launch control set at 2k RPMs and 10 percent slip.
I have a 2016 2ss and it wont let me change slip or the rpm launch
@@dashondn
I think it may have been an option on that year, some of them you can't change I believe.
Hey I have a question I own a 2018 2ss 6.8 8-speed and I activate stibilitrack and put it in track and I have my steering straight and I look in the settings for launch controls but it doesn’t pop up and it doesn’t show it’s disabled either it’s just not there any help?😅😂
If you quickly double-tap the traction control button, your car should go in to Competitive Mode, which then should allow you to use Launch Control. If you can't find the Launch Control menu, your car may not have that option, I don't think all of them have that option.
Needs a SC😎
You right, lol.
